Be fall on your knees grateful that you have a strong, independent minded child who will not be led astray by peers.
All you have to do is be respectful, use non-coercive parenting, and you'll have a great and funny time.

There is a book called "playful parenting" I'm not sure who its by (sorry the book is packed we just moved) But the book is AWESOME! It tells you all kids of things to do with stubborn kids or kids that don't have manners just to name a few. The book was only $14 its worth it. Remember positive enforcement is the best. GOOD LUCK

YOU are the parent - be a parent if you tell him to do some thing and he doesnt do it.. punish accordingly or physically make him do it..or give him a time out.. physically take him and make him sit somwhere for 5 minutes (1 minute per age) until he is ready to do what he was told to do...
take things away - turn off the TV..
BE THE PARENT or you will have a teenager from hell

My 4 yr old nephew is a stubborn little guy too! I just ask him to be my helper or act like I don't know how to do something or where something's at & he jumps at the opportunity to show me! Then I just thank him for being so helpful & tell him he should be proud of himself. It doesn't always work, but when it does, it's nice.

locate out what the actual concern is. Is he now determining that if he enables this adoption, he will lose his son forever? ageing has a manner of turning out to be people start to mature of their thinking. it rather is available he wasn't waiting to take on the accountability of a teenager, and now which you're conversing some call replace it rather is seeming greater actual to him. He might have started relationship somebody new who's incredibly plenty taking him to activity for being prepared to offer up his son rather of looking after his household initiatives. it rather is a clean supervisor at paintings actual mentoring him and helping him understand what an fool he's been for the final 5 years. If he's trustworthy approximately desirous to be an element of your son's life, i think of you may enable him. Your husband heavily is not any much less of a father on your son, who could have the earnings of understanding his organic and organic father actual does care approximately him. set up particular rules, however, approximately how regularly he has to work out your son, what his household initiatives are, and so on. if he's intense approximately pursuing this. be useful he's conscious he can no longer in trouble-free terms be out and in of his life every time he looks like it. Granted, it replaced into unfair to you approaches he dealt with this, yet is it available that the popular reason he replaced into staying away replaced into that he did no longer choose to be around you? no longer something against you individually, yet once I have been dealing with the breakup of my marriage, it can be quite perplexing for me to be around the different determine, particularly if it replaced right into a reminder to me of ways issues could have been and each little thing i could ignored. He could be determining how plenty he would be giving up if he shall we this proceed. attempt to enable this be approximately your son having a father who loves him, extremely than who "merits" to be his mothers and dads. no rely what, your ex is your son's father, regardless of if he provides up his rights. it may be greater painful for him in the long-term if he's conscious his "actual" dad did no longer care approximately him adequate to combat for him.
