That night when Julius got home Rochelle talked to him about the situation between Tonya and Drew and what Drew had said.
"Rochelle," Julius said, "He does have a point. Getting mad really doesn't solve anything. It's just what's easiest for us"
"I know baby but I don't have any other ideas," Rochelle said, "It's easy with Tonya. She's sensitive but the boys are... well they have... how do I put this-"
"They're not sensitive," Julius said, "But we need to come up with something better"
"Like rewards," Rochelle asked.
"That could be part of it sure," Julius said, "But there also needs to be consequences for unacceptable behavior as well. Maybe extra chores to make them earn privileges back
"You know I like that idea," Rochelle said, "We can try it for awhile and see if it works"
