[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you keep soda in the house, then I think it's not fair to forbid him to drink it.  Maybe have a limit--X number of sodas a week or whatever.  If you really don't want him to have any, then the "punishment" is that you don't keep soda in the house.  [/quote]

Are you people serious? If there are cigarettes in the house is he allowed to have those because they are there? How about beer?  Adults are allowed to have things in the house and call them off-limits to kids, or limit kid access to them.  If you have to move stuff out of your house completely because your kids run the household and won't listen, that's fine, but don't pretend that's parenting. That's defeat. This is the kind of moronic parenting practice that's lead to kids who don't understand boundaries and/or think none apply to them.

OP you're his mom. He is not listening to your instructions after repeated warnings. Time to get angry. Take away things he likes, ground him, cancel an event he's been planning on attending. I would not put up with a kid who repeatedly ignores instructions. Once, okay, we'll talk and I'll explain the rule and you can tell me why you're having trouble with it, but after that? Pfffft. I'm done, hammer down.
