[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is disrespectful and will grudgingly apologize when prompted, but clearly we do not get along and he neither likes nor respects me.

This morning, I asked, "What's the matter with you?" He responded, "What's the matter with YOU?" In the car I told him that God and Santa are watching and neither one is pleased with his behavior. I then told him that I could get in touch with Santa and see to it that he got no presents this year. That shut his mouth. He will be in his room after school.

I am thinking to put a note from Santa in the stocking expressing disappointment that this child cannot be kind and loving and respectful. But oh, how I WISH I could just give him nothing but a huge stocking of coal and NO PRESENTS AT ALL.

People don't understand what it is like to have a kid with horrible behaviors and how you can lose it.  This could have been a conversation with my 7 year old.  His behavior has gotten much better but we have our moments, a lot.  See if things are better after school, when you have both cooled down.  Sometimes we need a complete change of pace to change the behavior for the day and putting him in his room hours later probably wouldn't help.  BUT I get it.  I understand how at moments you want to give coal or nothing.   [/quote]
