[quote=Anonymous]what is he good at? What does he enjoy? Start connecting with him on that level. I know you don't feel like doing it, but praise him for the things he does well. Think outside of the box. Ask him what he really likes spending his time on. Maybe it's music, maybe its baseball, maybe its drawing or video games. Don't judge. Draw him out, what do you like about XX . I know this is hard it might be something you hate . Connect with him talk about his future, set him up with mentors in the area he really likes. Celebrate that he can be a good person and envision that future for him and for your relationship. Then -- down the road, be clear with him about house rules and expectations. You will have earned his respect by respecting him and in turn things will be less combative. [/quote]
