[quote=Anonymous]I think I might calmly announce that every day of this attitude and tantrum from him (which it is) is one more day of absolutely no screens. Make a big check on the wall calendar or something each evening so he can see the days adding up. And that when screens do start again, there will be some new rules and some serious discussions about addiction and respect. Be strong and stick with it.

He WILL make you and DH dinner. Don’t let that one slide.

No play dates, soccer practices, or any other extra until he is fully in line. If he loses his place on the team, natural consequences.

If you have not apologized directly for losing your temper and threatening him with slapping, I would definitely do that. Good morning and have a good day, dear from you, but don’t grovel.

So sorry, OP, this sounds wretched.
If no progress in a week, a therapist might be in order, but right now it just sounds like an addicted kid going through withdrawal and all the drama around it.
