[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, sounds like you may need an intervention like this mom:

It worked out for her, it might work for you as well.[/quote]

Something is not following here.  She wanted to punish him because he didn't have homework and then was looking for colored pencils?  Bizarre.[/quote]

You didn't read it very well.
[quote]Estella told CBS News she came up with the punishment after [b]her son walked in the door from school a few weeks ago and told her he didn't have any homework[/b]. Later that night, he ran into her bedroom, [b]searching for colored pencils to "color something for school."[/b][/quote]

The point is that he lied about his homework, probably to break the rules of doing homework before doing something like screentime or playing or whatever.  He needed to learn to respect his parents and follow the household rules, which he blatantly lied about and broke.

Then he compounded the problem by mouthing off.
[quote]"He sat at the end of my bed, and just started lipping off: 'You can't take that away from me. You can't control me.'"

The 13-year-old, who makes a few bucks here and there from his YouTube channel, fired back at his unemployed mom: "Well, at least one of us is making money!"

Estella, who has been unable to work due to health issues, said that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

So he lied about homework, then he mouthed off that she couldn't control him and finally threw in her face that she didn't work even though that was due to health issues.  He was a real jerk and she needed him to learn some respect.  I wouldn't want a child of mine to have that attitude or say something like that to someone else.  It would reflect poorly on me as the parent and I agree she needed strong measures.[/quote]
