[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. We have tried time out. He doesn’t respond to it- doesn’t seem to care. When he took the cheese, he runs away laughing and he’s very fast and I (literally) can’t catch him. I let him pick out his clothes and he still doesn’t get dressed. When I yell at him, or when my husband yells at him, he sort of freezes and ignores us. I feel like he’s so difficult that lately i just relent and let him watch tv. I’m out of things to do. The only thing he consistently does it take his shoes off before coming in the house (a rule) but everything else he ignores. He isn’t motivated by rewards and isn’t deterred by time outs. Sometimes he’s great (mainly when not in the house) [/quote]

You have to be very consistent with time outs and do it nanny style.  It may take hours the first few times.  You are a problem if you things like relent and let him have tv.  You are allowing this behavior and encouraging it.  He knows he can behave this way and get away with it.[/quote]
This is exactly how boys learn to ignore women - and girls. “She says no, but I can do it anyways.” You know where that goes, right?[/quote]

THIS. This is all I can think about when I read threads like this. You're raising the next Brock Turner with parenting like this. And yes I have a son, and I think a lot about how I can't coddle him because I don't want him going out into the world thinking women exist to cater to him. [/quote]
