[QUOTE="KFld, post: 37718, member: 2442"] It is typical behavior, but it doesn't mean it's o.k. My 17 year old easy child gets mouthy sometimes and when she does I simply give it back. I let her know it's not o.k. to talk to me that way and then I start talking to her the same way. It drives her crazy but she gets the point. She asks me something, I ignore her or give her a snotty answer. Then she'll figure it out and say, o.k. I got the message. I simply let her know what it feels like to be talked to and treated that way and that it isn't a good feeling. My easy child is pretty easy to get through to though. I would not serve your son dinner in his room. I would let him know it's ready and if he chooses to not come down and eat, then he can go hungry. Sounds like he needs to lose a few priviledges to get the point across that he needs to treat you with respect. The yard clean up thing, that is definatley typical. [/QUOTE]
