Oorah.....I did do all of the above including taking his stuff away. He just looked at me and told me he would turn me in for child abuse at school today. I didn't bruise him but I slapped him as hard as I could. I'm not proud of it, but he is 5'7 and 192 lbs I cannot (pregnant) hold him down to swat him. So I guess I just wait for CPS to call me and tell me what a horrid mother I am...
I'm sorry but I would have whooped his butt! Since you are against physical action I guess I would have taken the door off his room taken away all electronics and left him with a mattress on the floor. Kids are so spoiled these days and people treat them as if they are made of glass. I'll be damned if a CHILD speaks to me with disrespect
Your welcome im here for you if you ever need to talk.
Give yourself time to calm down take a nice warm bath and relax. When I was younger my mom and I had a horrible relationship when we would get in arguments we would yake time to calm down and sometimes she woild write me letterx lettinh me no how she was feeling but she also let me no in the letters that she loved me veru much and wanted to find ways we could grow closer. We never could talk it would wind up with the cops at the house. But u cant fight with a letter and u soke the words in better. I would save them because they meant alot yo me. Maybe when your ready u can try somethong like that.
My mom said if your kid doesn't hate you in his teen years your not doing it right lol. I sd some horrible things to my mom. My single hard working mom. Now I'm 30 and think the world if this lady and the things she must have gone through for us kids. He's a teen and will regret it one day. And one day he will respect you as a women and his mom
