He was getting smart with me....he is "stressed" and wants to fuss. I told him to go on, I was tired of listening to his excuses and bickering. He smarted off....so, I told him to go to his room.
Well.....he is so smart he told me "no" and he is sitting in the living room. His dad will be home in about 15 minutes. This will NOT turn out like he imagines it will.

At 15, no way. And I wouldn't need to worry about what would happen when Dad got home either. Mom could take care of her own business. A hazel-eyed, red-haired Irish woman she was, and her children did not trifle with her. She still has hazel eyes, but her red hair has turned silver.
I don't think I would say "No" to her, even now.
LF, if you grab an ear and take off walking, the rest of the kid will follow.
We have been fussing for about an hour over "how hard he has it".....he wants to make his point and I'm SOOOOO tired of his whining at this point. I'm tired. I have been taking pictures all day.....and I just do NOT feel like dealing with him right now. I'm going to turn him over to dad.
Tell him to go on outside and pick his switch, cause when Larry gets home its going to be the belt....
And when I was a kid if my MeMaw sent me for a switch and I came back with something insubstantial (that only happened once) she would go get a proper one.
I cannot remember the last "beating" this one got. He isn't normally like this. He is feeling sorry for himself and I'm not having it. He thinks he doesn't do anything fun....wants to quit his job....wants a pitty party, which is something I'm not accustomed to.

RUT ROH!
maybe too big to get a proper wood shed treatment . but walking and having the privilege's taken away on some items of a kid having it so ruff may have him thinking .
I feel somewhat silly spanking a 6'1" man-child. He is just this side of getting it though!

I've forgotten how big they are now. The last picture of him in the office from baseball was 8th grade or such. The most painful thing you can do is take away the car keys and make him ride the bus. (I know you are rural, that may not be an option....)
I have been known to turn the internet off for their devices on our network. They have everything they need for schoolwork but playtime is OVER. Kids these days have so much more to get in trouble with than we did.
She said " watch your mouth" and went back to washing dishes.
I said yes mamam and humbly went back to drying.
I didn't forget it.
Teenagers sometimes engage mouth before brain, I did, my kids did and sounds like yours did. Time to take him down a notch or two.
Mule
He is convinced that he is "not smart" and we don't realize just how incapable he is of making SOME kind of goal and achieving it. Neither me or Larry are falling for that though.
Liam was yelling about not having any goals......so, Larry gave him one. He has until the weekend to have his room spotless. He is convinced that everyone else is going to college and he is just "too stupid" to make anything of himself.
I think his problem is that he has surrounded himself with morons and thinks....."hey, this isn't all THAT bad."
I'm just glad this night is over.
My brothers and I (no sisters) never tried any of that talking back stuff to Mom that I know of. Certainly not after the toddler years anyhow, and who remembers those very well? Small bits of memory is all, brief scenes of a good life long lost in the fog.
Mom's been gone a full decade now. The woman was the hardest working, most devoted person I ever knew and very likely ever will know. Miss her endlessly.
Your boy will grow up. When he does I hope he kicks himself in his own * for having been a teenager once.
If the boys need a tune up; it happens on the spot.
I always meant to ask him before he died what exactly he hit me with.
All I know is that I came to with a very angry little fellow standing over me explaining that I ought not ever call my Mother stupid again.
It seemed like good advice. [:0][B)][:I]
To this day, anything she asks me to do gets done without a single word other than "YES".
Compared to what a lot of us went through growing up, your son's home life is a piece of very tasty cake served up by a woman (you) who is hell bent on mothering him for the rest of his life.
Sorry...Rant over.
Your house ,Your rules tell Him where the door is [^]
Big enough not to listen, big enough to make his own way. Open the door and point.
I miss and love my Mom dearly. [^]
Good luck, Kasey!
OR buy him a new car and phone and he will be ok,,
and please post his 1st arrest, why hold back now...
did dad ever get home???havent seen a report
LF, if you grab an ear and take off walking, the rest of the kid will follow.
That is exactly what my mom did, she had the whole ear and plenty of hair pulling my head way down I followed her with my attention fully focused and beloved cooperation filling my heart as the pain registered deep into my soul. [:D]
I did not expect him to handle the heavy stuff, but he needed to help as best he could.
He declared that he was not going to do it. So, I sent him to find a switch. Told him I needed a nice, whippy stick about the size of his finger and as long as his arm.
This, he thought, is a lot more fun than loading wood. He had never "experienced" a switching before.
Soon he proudly returned with the switch, and it was perfect. I praised him on his ability to find just the right switch.
Then we set down for a talk. I explained why it was important for him to help me. I explained that his mom and dad had responsibilities to take care of him and his sister, feed them, and work to pay the bills. I explained his responsibility as a son.
Then I explained waht the switch was for. That it was to "help" little boys that didn't want to do their job. I carefully explained the welts it would raise, made it whistle thru the air.
Then I gave him a choice. He could perform his duty as best he could, or he could take a switchin'. His choice, no pressure, and I would still love him either way.
He chose wisely. Wood was loaded.
I never crossed him again after that, not even as a grown man.
Two reasons,
First he would have killed me
Second respect
If I ever decided to forget the second reason the first one kept me in check.
After 1 warning, I threw away ALL the clothes left on the kids bathroom floor.
I refused to help with the purchase of a vehicle until attitudes changed.
Banned motorcycle riding for 3 months at a time.
I shut off internet at 9:30PM.
After age 9 kids do ALL of their own laundry.
I wont fix a car or truck without the kid owner helping in person, bring iced tea, hold tools, wrench with me, holding the light etc.
I quit spanking with a homemade paddle at 14, but let them know I'm not allergic to doing it again.
"Do you want "push mower" duty for 3 months?"
The riding mower is "broken".
I am not against shutting off the breaker to a room, putting certain belongings into my safe, refusing to buy dinner out, buying more clothes, making kids do dishes.
I can be rather "inventive" to find punishment to fit the circumstances.
Although I'm 6'1", my 3 boys are around 6'4".
They still obey.
[;)]
My wife does not play the "wait until your father gets home" card.
If the boys need a tune up; it happens on the spot.
Yep, my mom had a belt hanging over the rear view mirror mount in the car. She was plenty capable of handling any situation which might arise.

I was never lucky enough to get my own switch. My mom would send my sister to get one for her to use on me when mom decided I needed my "hide tanned."
My sister always managed to find a Hickory switch with knots, forks and other abnormalities nature provided to help show me the error of my ways.[:(!]
I never had any kids and looking at my friends who did I have no regrets on that decision. Every daughter amongst my friends got pregnant. One friend's son went to prison. Nearly 40 and never worked, he's a bum and a felon. Others are dropouts, disagreeable and disrespectful to their parents. All my friends' kids are losers. Not a winner in the bunch. I think the parents are all good people, but the kids all turned out rotten...all of them. Amazing.
Too old to live...too young to die...
My Dad went from a "spanking" and turned into
George Foreman.
I got him up this morning and he was being SUPER sweet. I don't know what the reason behind it is....but it seems kids just need to have parents lay down the law every once in a while. They will find some way to make it as bad as possible too.
Simple, its Testostorone (spelling?[:D])

OR...."Late adolescence and early adulthood are peak periods for the onset of schizophrenia"
[:0]
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
Take everything from him and return it at a later date.
That or call Don.
he was an angel this AM ..all is good..Praying? to God?....pretty sure God dont care if he Said NO!! to you but thats what I think
If our son even looked at my wife funny, she would beat the daylights out of him. He feared her, not me. [;)][;)][;)] I finally had enough of Chis's BS and threw him out of the house about two years ago. He moved back in last year after he grew up some and now is back on the right track. He saw the era of his ways with me and his mother.[;)][}:)][:(!] Oakie
