i have had to discipline before, and the boy actually told me "i cant touch him, its the law."
my reply was law? the law says i need to feed/clothe/shelter/educate.
the law says **** all about xbox/good wardrobe/allowance/giving into youth whims.
just last month, i gave him an open handed smack upside the side of his head for skipping out of class to smoke pot. and told him that those are choices he can make when he is 18. until then, i make the choices for him, and if that isnt good enuf, he can find his own place to live, period. his father and i are on great terms, and supports me, or else he gets the problem full time and has already refused the boy on a request to live on the greener grass. i didnt ask him to be an honors student, but i DO insist he goto school.
id take him doing pot over coke anyday, but kids dont know the proper time and place for such things. i demand respect from him, and the friends he chooses to bring into my kingdom. kids assume that privileges are the same things as rights. sounds like you 2 need a break until he can deal with you on your level. it will hurt for years, but he will come around.
show me someone thats never said as an adult, "yah, my parents were never-ever right about anything." one day, he too will impregnate some chick, that will spawn his demon seed---and he just might look back on life.

LMAO .. thanks.

Mine gave me the "law" thing also.. I said "you want to call DHS? Call them... it will take them 5 minutes to call the police and it will take the police 10 minutes to respond. That leaves me 15 minutes of just alone time, just you and me. So here's my phone." Technically I think that was abuse but he shut up about it.

Then I put him in the car and told him I had really good health insurance and we were checking him into a locked hospital ward with other kids just like him who thought they were the shit and ran the world. I told him the nurses would have him crying and begging to be let out into the play field to feel the sunshine within a week and in 3 weeks he'd be a completely different kid. He shaped up for all of a day. I think it may be time to actually take him.
