[QUOTE="humbleyourheart, post: 275263, member: 6690"] We have major issues with disrespect and anger and today just had me in tears. I had to call my husband to come home from work early because I am just so tired of dealing with my son. The simplest request or question can set him off. Today I picked up from school and he was in a pretty good mood. We got home and he asked if he could call his friend to play. I told him he could. After he hung up the phone without having talked to anyone I said "He wasn't home, huh?" To me I was just making conversation. But he blew up. He screamed at me "HE wasn't home. Why don't you use your brain!" I started to tell him not to talk to me rudely. I was bending down getting something out of the frig and he shoves the frig door into me. I tell him for that he is not allowed to play with friends this afternoon. He starts screaming and takes the phone which is in his hand and smashes it on the floor and it breaks into pieces. I tell him he needs to go to his room and he is still screaming at me and starts kicking the doors. I tell him a couple more times he needs to go to his room and physically try to get him to, but it wasn't working very well. He heads for the door and says he is leaving and takes off on his bike which he is not allowed to do. He is only 8 and not allowed to roam the neighborhood by himself. I am getting ready to get in the car and go looking for him when his friends mom calls and says he is over there. I ask her to send him home. He walks in still with his major attitude and asks why I am crying. In a sarcastic way not a caring way. I try explaining to him why I am upset, but he doesn't see that he did anything wrong. It's my fault he got so upset. I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I can't even talk to my own child. [/QUOTE]
