[quote=Anonymous]OP here. My son has been diagnosed with ADD. Not sure if the defiance stems from that. I have some undiagnosed/self-diagnosed attention issues but am successful at work and run the household by myself so I don’t think it’s fair to use ADD as an excuse. I always helped around the house (dishes, lawn mowing, vacuuming). I’m not sure if I did it to be helpful but there was no option. My mom was tough. She says that I give in too easily. I’m not sure what else to do. I’ve hidden the TV remote and we shut off the phone through the telephone company. Next thing to go is the WiFi but he is purportedly working on his homework. I asked the 16 year old to unload the dishwasher just to give him a task and he very easily declined. I’ve asked him 6 times now. Will not do it. What I don’t understand is he not an asshole. At least not to his younger 7 year old sibling but how can he be so flippant when I ask for help? [/quote]
