almost 12 going on 30! - 2006/11/20 19:38
I know he is not technically a teen, nut I am desperate! It is teen problems, by what other parents tell me. He lashes out. He is failing in school even though he is very very smart. He calls names - this morning he called me a fag because I was getting on him about getting dressed for school because he took almost 1/2 an hour and didn't even get dressed yet!!! In the 45 minute time frame he yelled, defied, acted out, horribly with 5 major episodes!
I have tried ignoring it - reasonign with him, I have lectured until I was sick of hearing myself. Many times lately it winds up the same - I yell back. I know it is makign it worse if anythign but I don't know what to do.
I have heard the go do something with them by yourself but - 1. I am a single mom of 3 and 2. His behavior is so unbearable I really do not see waiting for him after school with soemthign like "hi son, you called me a fag this morning so I know you need attention - let's do somethign nice!" I feel damned if I do and damned if I don't - I know his behavior is a lot for attention grabbing but I can not enjoy my time with him when mere hours before he is screamign and havign worse tantrums than my 3 yo. And for those that say do it anyhow - I have - another eason for my frustration. He will be fine for the tiem we are out then literally the minute the focus is off him again he is a monster. The behavior is now overflowign to the school. He is refusing to do work, EvErYtHiNg. I love my son - But I really do not like him anymore.
