Take some part of his allowance away for each offense. You have to give him a way to earn it back, or else he will have nothing to work toward. Tell him it is going to be that way from now on. He will either learn respect, or he will be one sorry, broke little boy. My son is 16 now. He knows that when I say something I mean it. He still messes up now and then, but for the most part he's learned respect and a little discipline. When we first started this he was 12. He lost a lot of allowance, but after a while we had the cleanest house and yard! Now I do most of the work again. Good thing I've got another little boy approaching the "attitude" age.

Your son is either having problems else where (school perhaps), with what he sees on television, or, as you said, it could be his age. Try figuring out if there is anything going on at school, is someone bullying him? Has he been watching bad shows on your television? That could be it, but, try this question: What was it like for ME at age thirteen? I'm sure that you've had days when you hated everyone and the world was all wrong and being lonely when you were his age. Remember, this may be the answer to your question, but his rude behaviour is unacceptable. Make sure he knows that. And, also, another note, being a teenager is hard and it sucks, but you end it one day.

Thirteen is the begining of a tough time for some young people.( I have a son who is 19) The best thing to do is just give your son the ground rules and the consequences of breaking them.Discuss them one on one with him. But most important let him know that whenever he needs you you will be there for him and that you love him. Even though he may say he does not care one day he will evolve from this so called "Change of LIfe" and knowiing that you were there for him will matter! Good Luck

I feel for you!
His hormones are raging at this age! Very difficult age for both teen and parents.
Get him involved in sports or some activity to help get rid of some of the pent up energy from all those hormones. In most areas there are youth programs, either through a church, community center, YMCA, or such. This gives the kids something to do.
I remember the teen years with my own children. It was not easy being a single parent. My son was in boy scouts, and played football. I believe it did help, some. We still had our battles! But that is normal in any parent, child relationship. They will push you as far as you are willing to let them! With the "mouth", there was the bar of soap.

i'm happy you extra panties for your question because being Australian there is not something incorrect with wearing thongs on your feet at inspite of age you're. i'm 22 and haven't any childrens yet i imagine that 13 is too youthful to be wearing a "thong". once you're 13 you're nonetheless a baby not an human being and by no potential a sexual "ingredient" contained in the eyes of others. So i don't believe of you're being previous shaped purely searching for your daughter and attempting to coach modesty in an unmodest international. i imagine mom's do have an legal responsibility to coach their daughters a experience of modesty even as they're on the age that your daughter is and perhaps as a lot because the age of 16. the way some youthful females gown the position i'm from and that i'm not speaking virtually teenage females yet youthful ones eg 10 three hundred and sixty 5 days olds placed on the most skanky searching clothing. and that i purely imagine it really is purely so not necessary. and then you imagine who buys them the garments, mom's in a good number of cases and they don't gown a lot diverse.

Being a parent is tough! Single or not, Kids don't come with a manual...I have a sister who tried to be friends with her first two kids, Much to her dismay, they both turned out rotten...She had another child years later, and was MOM, not a buddy, this child is the nicest kid I know. At 13, kids need to know where the line is, and what the consequeces are if the line gets crossed. Best of luck to you.

This does not come with age (it builds up) however, if its suddenly errupted without warning, then its probably a plot to gain your attention or something, if not then its bad influence of friends. Try figuring out (if its friends, avoid his meeting them, set up a family get together or a fav movie when those friends have an outing or something)
I would suggest you figure out something your son likes & everytime he is good give him a reward (a good meal or treat) & of course everytime he is rude punish (ground him etc)

i used to get alot of whoopings for my sassy mouth. im not saying thats what you should do and some people dont agree with it but sometimes talking isnt going to show them you are the boss. they will think that you dont mean business if you talk the talk but dont walk the walk.

Beat his A ss, or either to his A ss to the police station and have them scare him up.
