[quote=Anonymous]I was having issues with my 12 year old a couple of weeks ago and wanted to give up. vented. people here advised on punishments, others on rewards. i did both. didn't work. my husband like yours is ALWAYS traveling. i have another much younger child. i'm a working mother and i'm tired. then i kind of just went on strike. and basically my husband had to handle it and he did. for the first time. your husband needs to be given an ultimatum. he needs to step it up. especially with young adolescents. they need their dad. whats the point of all his hard work if your son turns into a train wreck? also, you need to stop all playdates, take away the phone and video games and just learn to change the wifi passcode so it turns off after a certain time. then you can ease up and reward as behavior improves.
