Not a damn thing! Dont give him priveledges, dont buy him anything, dont even speak to him until he learns to treat you with some respect. If hes 18 give him a reality check and kick him out until he can apologize, help you out, and respect you. If hes not just give him what he needs to survive...food and shelter. you re his mother you gave birth to him and if he cant even respect you then he doesnt deserve anything else from you. Take away his TV, IPOD, CD PLAYER anything that gives him any form of entertainment and he can earn one item back for every two weeks hes respectful and helps out if he gets his stuff back then continues the disrespect take it away again and dont give it back til he can show you respect for a month and so on and so on.

Well he probably does it because you allow him to get away with it! Not responding or letting it slide when he calls you names, is allowing him to get away with it. Instead, you need to demand he apologise immediately. If he refuses then you need to confiscate something he values (Xbox, PS2/3, Ipod). If he repeats his behaviour you take something else (until he has nothing left if you have to!). Then allow him to earn his things back one by one, by doing the dishes, or washing the car etc.
My son is 11 and all along I've demanded he treat with me respect and contribute to the household. If he refuses I send him to time-out or say he's not allowed to watch tv that night (Not that I think time-out would work for a teenager). My son doesn't even question me anymore, because I think he's learnt the lesson that you need to respect your mother. Hopefully its well embedded in him for when his teenage years arrive. I hope these suggestions help. Also, I know it sounds lame, but maybe you could try watching some Dr. Phil shows on parenting, or go to his website...

Take stuff away until he learns his lesson. He should not be allowed to call you names or just be a slacker either. He's a member of the household, he should have chores and responsibilities.

Strip EVERYTHING excpet the bed and dresser out of his room. Don't allow him use of the phone (Lock it up if you have to). Take his car keys (If he drives). Quit spoiling him. Do you want him to grow up to disrespect his girlfriends or wives....and yes I meant to say WIVES because no self-respecting woman would put up with that crap for long! He will end up miserable and alone if you don't teach him to have respect for others!

don't let him do anything around the house, take his things away, including his privileges.
your son sounds like a real moron, let me kick him in the balls for you.
