I don't know how to deal with him any more. Every day: money, not having enough, not earning enough, why can't I earn more...all he wants are Yeezys, these trainers, those trainers, blah de blah, everyone has them.
I don't know how to cope with it any more. He has washed cars, sold stuff, I even caught him trying to make cash online.
It's making my life a misery. I think maybe its indicative of some other unhappiness. His father and I divorced about 2 years ago. We've made sacrifices to send him to an expensive private school (he won a scholarship) so we are the poor family by comparison to some of his friends, which he is sensitive to. I am seriously considering pulling him out, although his siblings were never like this.
I just don't know how to deal with the constant whining, moaning, whingeing. He is eager to get a job but his choices are limited, and I am self employed and finding I can't even do my own job because I'm dealing with his tantrums when I should be getting on with things.
Is anyone else in the same boat? How on earth do other parents deal with fusspot kids?
