[quote=Anonymous]My son has been so difficult since birth. He's 11 now and I'm just tired and think it's going to get worse, not better, during adolescence. Main issues are dis-respect toward mom (not dad) and harassment of younger brother. Pretty much anything I tell him to do - shower, pick up, homework, help, stop doing something - is met with literally a growl (same growl since he was probably two). His latest response to my requests is "I'm good," which pretty much puts me over the edge. His favorite hobby has always been bothering his docile younger brother. And he has never been interested in anything constructive - won't read a book to save his life, won't go to anything extra-curricular except under duress with lots of anger. No friends to speak of either - I stopped arranging playdates a few years ago because, either kids just aren't nice anymore, or my kid just doesn't get on with others. I took him once for help when he was 8, but was told to make him feel more "connected" to me, to "count." But our issues started 11 years ago... I really just needed to vent! Does anyone else have a child like this? [/quote]
