the meanest mom of the year award.

My son has had all week to clean his room.

He did not do it. I told him he would not be opening presents with us if he did not get it clean.

His sister helped him out today. He has about 6 loads of laundry to finish by bedtime, or no gifts get opened by him tomorrow. I wasn't kidding.

Congratulate me. I've made my threat and I'm sticking to it, as hard as it is.
This is the ony thing that sucks right now.

Selfpwn3d. You already got his stuff and admitted your glee at watching em open their stuff on Xmas.

That boy will be opening presents tomorrow if the sun rises!

Not unless that room is clean.

Not kidding around. He's fighting me mentally, but he's cleaning his room now. He's just trying to make everyone else miserable in the meantime.

i'm not a huge advocate of violence but seriously the ammount of stuff you post about your son on here is REDICULOUS ever given him a spankin for god's sake?

I used to get spanked ALL THE TIME and i'm a good upstanding B+ avg student with no criminal record and no violence issues. The worst law i've ever fractured was a small ammount of recreational drug use that was extremely short lived.

There is no one on this forum older than 17 that can say their parents never spanked them and if their parents didn't that would prolly explain a bit about them.

of the people I know those that have been spanked (not beaten there is a HUGE difference) are more evenly minded and adapted to life and society in general than those coddled and cushoned through life with groundings and "time out"

Yes, Ben. I have spanked my son. It does not work. So I don't bust my arm to use a technique that does not work. What does work is saying something and keeping my word. I have to be hard nosed and I hate it, because mom's can be tough at times, but with him, I'm needing to be tough MOST of the time just to get thru the normal stuff. You also have to remember that he does have some problems related to a brain injury he had when he was four and half. There was an instant personality change after that accident. It's only gotten worse because of the school system. They let him get away with soooo much and he wanted it that way at home. Now that he was tested, they aren't doing what they did and things are improving....slowly, but surely.

It doesn't help that he's bigger than me now, but a recent event let me know that he's still scared of me. As long as I've got that, it'll be ok.

I vent alot on here about him, because, unfortunately, his dad isn't home much. Hubby works the swing shift, so during the week (when school is in session) they only see each other on the weekends and Dad doesn't like to be the mean guy the whole weekend. I can't say that I blame him, but it does make it harder on me during the week. And lately, Dad has been working ALOT of overtime. No choice if he wants to keep his job. Fortunately, I don't have to work. Less OT coming up next month if all goes well with the plant going online on Jan 1-3. I hope there are no more problems and I can take a break!!

Thanks for your concern Ben and to everyone else that has shown it. This board has helped me from beating him at times. He drives me to the point of total meltdown at times. If all goes well, he'll be joining a BMX team in Jan. He was asked by a local bike shop owner and he loves to race. His grades weren't good enough for the bike shop owner so he wasn't welcome onto the team. Now he is. So, like I said, things are improving.

Wow, this was a long post..sorry guys if I bored you too much. LOL

If you don't mind, how big is he and what' his age?

Yeah, if he's getting up in age, it'd be a major thing if you suddenly started putting whippins on em and you're there and have decided it's not that effective.

If being tough with him is the answer and that sounds like a good bet; be tough. As much as he may whine it'll be good for him in the long run. I know all the crises I had as a kid are all but forgotten.

The resulting lessons he learns by accomplishing assigned tasks and respect for authority amongst others will serve him well for the rest of his life.

He'll end up teaching that to his own kids one day.

He's 15 and he just got bigger than me recently. He was raised on spankings, but there comes a point that it just isn't effective anymore.

BTW, his room is clean. :-)

Good deal. When I was 15, that's when I was smartest and most bull-headed too!

Well, at least I was most bull-headed.

He's been bull-headed for about six years. The real trouble started when he was nine.

Right when we moved.
