My son is 13 as of April this year and he is developing a seriously bad attitude, mostly against his stepmom.He will argue with her over the smallest thing, lie to her face, disrespect her in front of others and alone, he's been caught stealing at school, he told my wife he was going to one friends house then never did, he went to another instead without permission causing her to have to look for him and leave our four yr old at a sitter, she called when she found out where he was and told him get his butt home and he acted like the phone was cutting out and couldn't hear her and decided not to come home, he refuses to do anything she asks unless she finally gets frustrated and screams at him but then when that happens he acts like she is abusive and hates him. She does not hit him though I understand the temptation. He won't accept any punishment she attempts to give. When I am home he is not like this to me but to her it's bad and not an exaggeration. I wish I could be there but I work a lot and unfortunately the burden is on her. I've tried grounding, removing things he loves like games, iPad, early bed, extra chores,timeout and even a spanking but nothing seems to help. I will accept any advice on how to help change the situation.
Thank You
