My six year old son seems to think he doesn't have to listen to either me or his "Dad". For a while, I thought he might have a behavioral disorder, but now I wonder if it's just outright defiance. He doesn't have too many problems in school (mainly getting up from his seat), but trying to get him to do ANYTHING we ask him to do is pretty much impossible. He will do anything to get out of it and frankly doesn't care what the consequences are. We have tried everything from grounding to taking away privileges to spanking. You name it, we've tried it, and NOTHING works. He doesn't care what you do or say. If he doesn't want to do it, he's not going to. He is stubborn, but not hateful. He won't stand there and tell us he's NOT going to do it. He just finds ways to get out of it. He will actually make us punish him so he can get out of it. When we ask him why, all we hear is "because I don't like to work." We don't ask him to do much (just pick up his toys and bring his dirty clothes to the washing machine when I'm doing laundry). We personally don't think that's too much to ask of him. Are we expecting too much of him, or could this be a real problem? We are at our wits end.....please help!! Thank you, T Wilson
