Hope someone can help. My partner and I are at the end of our tether with my ds. He is constantly being rude and cheeky, answering back, speaking to my partner and I like dirt (I wouldn't dare talk to my own mother the way he does), lying and making up stories and refusing to do as he is told. This morning he threw his school shoes across his room because he "hates" them. We have tried countless punishments, time out, removing favourite toys, grounding, sending to room etc but nothing is working. I have tried to calmly reason with him and find out what is making him behave like this, all he will say is he misses my ex husband. He then gets very tearful and I feel like the worst mother in the world.
