[quote=Anonymous]Some of it is just the age, but damn, you cannot let it go. He has to learn that he is responsible for his actions or you will be raising a jackass. Stay strong. If he is disrespectful and/or continues in his denial of responsibility ("You guys are such jerks for not reminding me to check my backpack for my phone!"), respond with a swift consequence. ("You can be mad at yourself for misplacing your phone, but you don't get to be disrespectful about it. That includes blaming us for your choices. If you choose to say another word along this line of disrespect, you've lost the Xbox remote for a week [or insert other painful consequence.]) And then follow through. If he says another peep about blaming you, take the remote, or the phone or the wi-fi... --Mom of a 15 year old[/quote]
