[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son tried something like this a number of years ago when he was 13 (8th grade September), it went VERY badly for him.

He called my wife a "dumb bitch" and when I confronted him he said that there was"not a fucking things I could do about it".  I told him that he has 1 chance to apologize and after that there would be "not a fucking thing that he could do about it".  He said that he stood by his statement.

I left the room and the next day he trotted off to school with a big shit eating grin like he got away with something.

The following happened that day:

1) His cell phone service was cancelled

2) Wifi password was changed on wifi

3) His entire room was packed into a uhaul and stored at my warehouse (I'm a small time GC).

4) All clothes except 5 plain T shirts, 5 pairs of underwear, 5 pairs of socks, 2 pairs of shoes remained.

5) Only items left in house room was plain bed (wood one was taken) and sheets and blanket and a desk and chair.

6) NOTHING (posters etc) was left in his room.

Boy wonder was freaked when he returned.  I told him that we could talk about it in 30 days.

Never did it again![/quote]

I did the same thing when my oldest got in trouble right around age 12 or 13. Worked like a charm and never had to do it for any of my younger kids. [/quote]

My neighbor did the same thing. Kid didn't give a shit. He went to school in the same clothes every day. Told the counselor why when he was questioned. Continued for 2 months, kid didn't care one bit. Didn't eat, except at school and friends. Did no homework, no internet service. Got F's for the quarter. Kid did not care.

The family ended up in counseling. The parents needed to stop being such freaks. The parents were not happy to find out the bring control freaks often frustrates a child.

You approach is ridiculous.[/quote]

Obviously that family had way bigger issues than a teenager disrespecting a parent. I don't think you can compare it. OP also hasn't really given much info about their home lives. I would say in an average family it would work including mine. [/quote]

A Power play and using materiel good to control your child is not a good parenting plan. Just because his 1 child broke does not make him a good parent.

It's totally ridiculous. The parent sounds bipolar. The kid is disrespectful 1 time and there was no discussion, not once... just a manic rage event in the house of tearing down posters and stripping beds of bedsheets. Good luck with that.[/quote]
Your job is to know your own kid.[/quote]
