My DS is 13 and has had behaviour problems since very tiny. He cant cope with not getting his own way so kicks everything and has a major tantrum and screams the house down, swears, puts fingers up at us, hates us. Me and my husband and sons are always treading on eggshells with him. We have done a lot for him put its not appreciated. I am always sending him his nans as my youngest is 7 and he sees what is happening and now he has had behaviour problems since about 3 or 4 yrs in a different way but its getting worse. My teenager is seeing a counsellor at school when she is there and am awaiting for him and my youngest to see a paediatrician. All my boys are immature for their age and I dont know for how long that I can be so strong as I nearly walked out once. My son tells my mother he does some bad behaviour to wind me up but even when I ignore him he still carries on. I have taken away things an he adjusts. I dont know what to do anymore.

I think that you need outside help. What is he like at school? Can they help if you work together? Is he well behaved for his nan?

How many children do you have? I am not an expert but could the fact that you send him to his Nan's frequently be causing him to act up to get your attention? Do get some help with this. Hopefully your doctor will be able to refer you. It sounds miserable.
