[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What's happening in the way of discipline? [/quote]

I'm always trying different things...He likes to earn things by earning and saving up good behavior check marks. He loses his Iphone (just a device, no phone) for an hour at a time, gets it back if he behaves for that hour. He can be good, but his bad behavior is just so bad! [/quote]

Unless he has some sort of special needs or other issues, it sounds like the discipline needs to be more harsh than losing the phone for one hour. It's time to bring the hammer around. You disrespect your parents, you lose the phone for the rest of the day, or the whole weekend, or whatever.

[u]If your husband is present when your son is giving you this attitude, what is his reaction? How does your husband treat you overall?[/u][/quote]

He treats me great, aside from the fact that he doesn't help much with this situation. He grew up with a mother / sister conflict and a passive dad. Occasionally, he'll snap and get onto him and that shuts my son down for a bit. I don't want to focus on my husband though - he's something I can't change. [/quote]

I understand that, but this is a serious enough issue that you and your husband need to be a united force. Your husband can't sit there passively and say nothing -- that is sending the message to your son that he is okay with your son's treatment of you. Your husband needs to help you out, here. [/quote]
