[QUOTE="STRESSEDTOMAX, post: 594640, member: 3512"] I definitely understand what you're saying. But this defiance is on just about EVERYTHING. At some point, he has to learn to respect and obey his parents. He is in control of the whole house right now. And he acts as if he is entitled to everything and the second he doesn't get what he wants, he starts being disrespectful. For instance, he said to me that if I took his stuff away he was going to go out of control and give me a bad day. And as for the relationship between the punishment and the crime, it is: if you don't listen and obey, then you don't get to enjoy what you want for the day. I have often felt like you and I still do to a certain extent BUT this is occurring more and more and his attitude is truly one of entitlement. I'm thinking that there's a chance that if he believes I'll do what I say, he may think twice. There are some things that need to be non-negotiable and there aren't many of them, believe me. I believe that he sincerely believes that he is running the show and he has to have some limits. [/QUOTE]
