Okay I'm a fairly easy going mum, I do however set rules and I make my children do chores ... my kids are 11,9 and 8.
But my Eldest and Youngest have a HUGE problem with being told what to do, or being given punishments, yep mostly normal of no I'm not doing it, what you gonna do about it etc.
Now I think I am probably the problem becuae they do not do this to my husband, but I kinda feel they control me rather than vice versa.
Example .. my eldest has a huge temper problem, and recently severed his tendons in his wrist because he punched a glass door in temper .. now I have tried everything, I have social services involved to try and help him, I have a youth program involved to try and help him, I set him rules, I give him punishments, usually grounding (doesn't work) or removing items from his room, but he isn't bothered about anything at all.
anyone else going through similar and can give some suggestions?
