[QUOTE="busywend, post: 58547, member: 391"] Get both of you a walkman. Get him whatever loud music he wants (parental controlled, of course [img]:grin:[/img]) and you both can go around not having to listen to each other. When he speaks you can just yell, "WHAT?!?!?" every time. I am half kidding. I was going to say camp - glad that is on the way. I really can not think of any solutions that I am sure you have not tried. I think what will help him is growing up, maturity. I know that is not helpful to hear, but it is likely. Seriously, I did not expect much from my difficult child for years - no chores, I did not confront her about much (safety only). Just this year - at 16 - am I willing to try it again. So far, so good. Although I can feel the tension. I think one thing that needs to happen is difficult child needs to be busy. Do you have a pool? Trampoline? Basketball net? [/QUOTE]
