Can’t cope with 12 year okd

I am a single mum to a 12 year old and a 2 year old. They have the same dad but I’ve been single the whole time. That’s my mistake and another story. My 12 year old is in general pretty good but lately he’s driving me absolutely crazy. Not listening, rude, loud, hyping my toddler up. Not doing things until I’m shouting. He is good in school. I just feel so stressed out sometimes I feel like I’m having a health episode. His behaviour rubs off on my toddler. I work almost full time and it’s too much. He usually goes to his dads one night a week and every second weekend. He listens to his dad and respects him which really hurts me that he doesn’t do the same for me. I know it’s his age. I am thinking of letting him stay with his dad for a few weeks. His dad doesn’t work and has never had any responsibility for his school work. I feel like it will be a bad idea and that he might end up lazy like his dad, but I’m just at my wits’ end. Any advice would be appreciated
