12 yr old boys.....advice please.

[Spudly]

Take everything off him, his playstation if he has one, bike if he has one, that sort of thing, ground him and dont allow him tv or pocket money or anything like that, until he decides to show some respect leave him in his room with fook all!

Oh dear. It seems to be a day for people saying about their boys. A friend was telling me about how she keeps catching her 10 year old watching stuff he shouldn't online..and showing his little sister.

My younger brother used to be the same, although he sort of had a reason as he's autistic and has ADD, my dad used to wallop him and then kick him out of the house for a few hours with nowhere to go. Would only ever work for a few days though and then he'd be back to normal.

Also agree with Spud and Mowgli. Take everything away from him, don't allow him any treats and publically humiliate him...always worked with me when I was being a little terror

God i'd be locked up if anyone knew how much he does get smacked, he comes back with..." is that the best you can do?".... or " is that meant to hurt?"
Smacking him really does not bother him. He is slowly turning into a little chav, with no morals, and not a care in the world, he thinks he can do exactly as he pleases, and anyone who gets in his way just gets crap.

If this is just a phase he's going through then i can maybe put up with it for a bit longer... although after 2 years it does get frustrating.

Exactly my point,i did the same,its lack of respect.
Try to divert his attention from being a sh1tehawk and to put his energies into summat more constructive like rebuilding/restoring cars or field bikes etc.
I think the next generation is going to be worse as they have all grown up on computer games and know nothing about real life or socialising without a computer

[Danny s-p]

did a smack do you any harm,

i now have broken nose for try to fight back ps was my bro that did it not me dad. my bro was in charge of me for the week and was telling me off. i tryed swinging back at him then found out i had a very bloody nose a few seconds later and i was sat on me back side

[Ernie]

[General Baxter]

oh i remember them days spud, dad walked in, what you done now, 'snip' the plug on the tv

[mayhem]

a good hard slap, en locking him in his room without a phone, and take out the fuse for upstairs.

you get really bored after 3 hours without lights or a tv, i can tell you that.

[General Baxter]

do you give him 'pocket' money for doing things around the house ?

do you want me to come and sort him out, iv allready spend a night in a cell, for decking a 12year old for keying my car

[Spudly]

do you give him 'pocket' money for doing things around the house ?

Lol yeah righto, from what i gather most kids/teens these days expect 'pocket money' for fook all and just take that you should get it no matter what

[Andy]

i remember hearing friends dads shouting at them "Im gonna tek mar fockin belt off in a minute sunshine and tan yer ar5e"
I reckon you would get in serious bother for saying that nowadays
