Thank you. When he was little I was told to get myself counseling because even if I was the model parent who did everything perfectly he would still be difficult to raise. They saw a couple of defiant episodes and said it looked like odd but that I was handling it correctly. He does have co-existing disorders but hes too smart and we were denied services.
Hes home from boy scout camp this weekend because of his attitude Thursday. He 100% says he should be punished for it and kept home but hes upset about not going.
He says fits have never once worked on me but maybe someday one will.
We are extremely consistent with him. We always have been because with my background in early childhood education I've seen what happens when you aren't.
I just want to make things better. I'll do anything to fix it. We have done both positive and negative consequences. I'll make sure he gets one on one time with both of us. I'm a huge fan of natural consequences. It just doesn't click with him.
And this whole thread just made me feel worse. I kind of skimmed it because I just couldn't handle all of the judgments about my parenting by a bunch of people who don't even know me.
People suck. I'm going to go hide in a hole now. But I cant do that because that would mean giving up on my son and I will NEVER do that.
No one here was commenting on or judging your parenting (as far as I can tell), so no need to take it that way. We had our own conversation that wasnt about you at all. Good luck.
It wasn't from me. My comments had nothing to do with you in particular. So no, don't put words in my mouth. I will judge you if you do that.
