[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 222790, member: 1550"] I never spanked because there comes a day when they just laugh at you when you spank unless you REALLY hurt them and that's unacceptable to me. Also, it can get out of control when you're really upset, and CPS can be called. I found it better to discipline in other ways--anything but that. I used to want my parents to hit me, but they never would. I wanted it over with fast. I preferred the spanking...lol. I doubt if this child, only 7, is living to make your life miserable. I doubt he is ODD alone either. Usually something else is causing the ODD behavior--I'd have him evaluated by an neuropsychologist and be sure to tell the neuropsychologist all about hub because genetics plays a role with our kids. Divorce is always hard on kids. It is even harder on difficult child's who have transitional troubles and processing problems. They go from one set of rules to another--sometimes from one SO to another SO. I would pretty much expect anger after that sort of change. The anger in my opinion is due to the confusion and upheaval of staying with another parent and having some sort of disorder which makes changes far more difficult to handle. Does this child have a different father from your other kids who would never dream of talking back to you? I hope you get him newly evaluated. ADHD may not really be the whole thing and ODD kind of just means defiance. All our kids have probably been diagnosed ODD at one time, but it isn't a particularly useful diagnosis. I would want to know the big picture. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
