[QUOTE="TiredSoul, post: 602012, member: 3930"] How long have you been living in the home? Did your children move in too? Is his behavior the same or worse since you moved in? How was your relationship with him before you moved in? It is HARD living with a difficult child. Downright EXHAUSTING! My 11 yr old difficult child with ADHD and ODD sounds similar. Don't expect regular parenting/discipline to work. You may have to lock up or remove your items you don't want him messing with. You may have to lock up the tools so he can't disassemble the bikes. Think of ways to limit the things you have deal with. Manage his environment more. Don't have snacks in the house you don't want him sneaking. Pick one or two behaviors to deal with right now and ignore the other stuff. Hope this helps. I too have acted immature, freaked out, yelled, screamed, cussed, etc. Raising a difficult child is the hardest thing I have ever done. No one is perfect so don't beat yourself up about it. Just try to do better next time. Every single day here is a challenge. [/QUOTE]
