[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 315438, member: 1514"] I agree with some things from many above...locking food, stepping on him if he is in your way, etc. I also realize that what you are venting about is the bigger picture here. The utter disrespect that is happening and what that forecasts for his future. If this teen cant reign in his behavior now at home, how on earth is he going to obey authority when he gets out in the real world? Answer is he wont. Or most likely is he wont. Either he is fooling you and just putting this huge act on at home and really does know that authority cant be messed with but you as his parents just wont put a stop to his behaviors or he really is not able to control is impulses and he will end up doing something stupid in the real world where no one gives two hoots that he has some diagnosis. You live in a very harsh state for juveniles. He is two years away from being treated as an adult for any offense even shoplifting. If he cusses someone out and steals a pack of gum, he will be arrested. Taken to big boy jail. Maybe this will make an impression on him...maybe not. If he is like my son, it will take quite a few trips to the courthouse and days in jail before he figures out they arent playing with him. Maybe your son will get a good probation officer the first time out so he learns it fast. Took my son till 22 to get a good probation officer. This guy rocks! I dont know...I dont think you are looking for what to do about keeping him out of the bathroom or making him take a shower. Maybe I am wrong. You have had problems with your son for so long. He has been so difficult and I dont know what the answer is with him. I do think he is going to have to come up with that answer himself though. You have done everything you could possibly do. With some kids it is genetics. He will have to make that choice but only he can make it. [/QUOTE]
