[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You are just too adversarial and angry.

I'm sure the kid is a selfish PITA, but it sounds like you are forgetting who the grown up is here.

Tone it down, reflect on your goals, and pick some kinder strategies.  Get a professional involved if necessary. You have lost your grip.

You're a moron. It is the teen who is adversarial and angry. You can on!y stop that by giving him everything he wants, which is not good parenting.[/quote]

Thanks so much for the kind words.  I said adversarial and angry based on the OP's post, which reads like someone who is very adversarial and angry.  You can be a good parent without oozing anger from every pore.  You can even take away a ton of the things the kid wants. You just can't be as angry as this man sounds.

If the kid only behaves this way at home, then it is about the family dynamic and guess what! OP contributes to that.  Tig Nataro's stepdad said it well.  It is not the job of the kid to explain himself to the parent, but the parent's job to understand the kid. [/quote]
