I had my son at 16. My mom and grandma did most of the raising. Raising being no restrictions on him at all...Letting him run free, doing whatever he wants to. Now I that I have moved out and in with my fiance. We have to deal with this "I don't have to because my grandma or my GG says so". Warnings do not work, Spanking does not work, sitting down and talking does not work, timeouts do not work. He can be very aggressive when he gets upset. He has gotten into the habit of lying. Like he'll spill his drink and instead of telling someone or trying to clean it up...he tries to hide it...he blames others for the things he does. And, I just do not know what to do with him. My fiance and I have thought about the possiblility of him having some form of ADHD...I really wouldn't want to get him tested and then him be labled and have to be on meds forever...I want to try to resolve this problem myself before resorting to medical help. I am also due to have a baby in about 5 weeks..Please Help.
