[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obnoxious, disrespectful and nasty?  Eye rolling didn’t ever bother me, but disrespectful?? Nope. Their life (as they know it) would change. What exactly is your child doing/saying?  Can you give examples?  Is he generally unhappy due to Covid  and DL?[/quote]

He will come and scream if I put time limits on his games, use cuss words to us, act like how we are ruining his life. Anything I say is taken in a wrong spirit and would snap at me. defnitely a lot of this has to do with COVID and all the isolation. He changed schools and hasn't been able to make friends at the new school so part of it is that. He just spents all day in his room, despite of us trying to persuade him to get some fresh air. Again, he is not bad bad. He is trying to keep his grades up (so they are not as well as they were in previous years), taking hard courses, plays sports, etc.  Just seems to be in a very mood all the time with his brother and Dad and especially me.

If your son is screaming at you about video game limits, the appropriate “shock and awe” inducing response would be to take the machine, drive to the local dumpster and trash it.

On the drive over, you might consider the example you set in the way you treated him over the years, along with any other part your conduct may be playing in the circumstances. [/quote]
