My son will be 17 next month and he disrespects me to the extreme. I have no problems with him wanting to be in the streets or do drugs of drink. He just has such a bad attitude. Nothing i say or do is right for him. He is probably one of the most handsome young men you would ever see. But his attitude makes him the ugliest. I try to tell him that but his reply is so.. I've got him on punishment for talking back to me now and he seems like he doesn't even care. Does any one have this problem or have any suggestions on how I can get him to change his attitude

Hi, am sorry to hear you are going through this.My sons are now 26 and 27, girl i have been there..always remember no one ever screws you over ( unless you let them ) remember, once shame on them twice shame on YOU. dont permit it period..if he wants a taste of how easy he has it then let him go to the streets, bet he wont be there long ,but will sure learn alot and not all good ..when my youngest cussed at me and called me names he was about 16,it only took once i was in shock and let me tell you right now i went with salvation army cloths so he could have his airwalks and fancy cloths and when he disrespected me like that he was out of my house, anyway i mean i wouldent let a stranger talk to me like that you think my own son can...(that was the hardest thing i have ever done in my entire life ( the hardest ) but like a man who hits you ( IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN ) My point being if you allow it, it will happen again.....How much do you respect yourself..............

Going into the Marines, is in all probability the main suitable decision he would have made. that's probably your son would be broken down and then outfitted lower back up; maximum are greater desirable for it and its a possibility that your son could evolve right into a disciplined youthful guy with an entire new outlook.

Perhaps if you did have a problem with him hanging around the streets drinking and doing drugs it would be a bit different. Kids need boundaries and will push till they get them. Be hard on him. Itll hurt, but it worked with my parents for me

I'm in high school. If I ever disrespected my mom, I'd be ground until I was married. Just tell your son your his mother and if he doesn't respect you now, you don't have to be there to help him with his future problems. You have that obligation.

I remember being that disrespectful teen. I was so horrible! Looks like your baby needs some tough love. He might feel like he is a grown man and he doesn't have to listen to you. He needs to understand that he ain't all that without his momma. Don't give him anything. Money, clothes or whatever. Make him have to provide for himself as much as possible. Teens are moody at no fault of their own, but when they are unappreciative, you have to giv'em a kick in the A** to make them see the light. Believe me, It was exactly what I needed. Now, my mom doesn't have to ask for anything. I make sure she is taken care of.

Does your son have goodies? (Cell phones, Internet, Computer, Car, or gadgets?)
If your son is not behaving the way he should be. Take his stuff away from him, and act mean around him. That will teach him a lesson to respect you.

Hopefully he'd accept to go to therapy with you, be open, tell him that you are not his enemy but his parent, and that you if he wants to could his friend too.
I fear your situation since I am a mother, try to make him remember good things he used to do, funny things, and ask where is that boy?
Try your best and good luck
