12 Year Old Boys...

My girlfriend has a 12 year old boy that is truly driving her nuts. I give as good of advice as I can, but really I raised girls, Im sure its different. Her son, has started "dating" a 13 year old girl (who mom doesnt like hehe), is pretty disrespectful to his mom, he is spoiled with cash & fancy electronics by his Dad that lives in a different city. He wants to "go out" on dates with the girlfriend, I think in groups it should be ok...? He has no experience using transit alone- I think now is a good time to learn... theres a bunch of stuff...

13 Year Old. Ugh.

13 year old daughter. Need I say more? It's as if an alarm went off in her head the day she turned 13 telling her to start acting like a ^#&$^@#$!*. Though she doesn't have issues with school or boyfriends, the "I don't give a darn" attitude and the "Whatever" nasty attitude with all her family members is about to put me over the edge. No amount of lecturing makes a difference. She just comes back even nastier. We've taken away the phone (which she barely uses anyway), computer, her e-reader, to no effect other that making her even...

Type of Punishment for 13 Year Old

So our 13 year created his own my space account against our wishes so to speak. he has been begging us for one for a sometime now. We have told him that we didn't approve of my space, and besides he is not old enough. I am a real stickler when it comes to rules. Ok fast forward to yesterday when hubby discovers our son's my space account, thru viewing recently viewed web sites. Apparently son and hubby had talked before I got home from work and son asked hubby to not tell me, because he knew I would be very dissapointed in him. Hubby...

Need Help with 11 Year Old Son Behavior Problems

I really need help with my almost 11 year old. He is EXTREMELY argumentative and an extreme "jerk" for no better word. He is "always right" and if he's corrected - he will argue to the end. He will throw HUGE tantrums. Here's an example, tonight we were headed out to my husbands birthday dinner with my teenage daughter, him, and my younger son (9). He wanted to sit in the back and when the other two sat there he continuously turned around and hit my younger son. When we corrected him, he argued. We told him if he hit the other one...

14 Year Old Thinks Rules Too Strict - NO MORE RESPONSES PLEASE. THANKS for ALL!

My 14 year old daughter seems to think a few of my rules are too strict. So, she asked me if I’d get the opinion of other mothers – particularly those I don’t know personally – and who have daughters her age. The rules she disagree with are as followed: My daughter can only attend two outings per month. Note: This includes things like going to the movies, hanging out at the mall, birthday parties, etc. This also includes spending the night away from home. My daughter thinks she should be allowed to do more each month and...
