What do you do when your 15 year old son

[KinseyWinsey]

Tells you to go fuck yourseff?

Change the WiFi password...

@KinseyWinsey

What do you do when he's built like a brick shit house and merely smashes things up when you take action?

Phone the Police, if he think he can intimidate you he will continue too, stand your ground @KinseyWinsey keep your cool and carry your actions out. If he smashes his stuff then it's tough on him isn't it, but if he threatens you I would not hesitate to put him back in his place.

See if they do any non- violent resistance courses (NVR) near you. That's what I'd recommend

There is an issue with your authority and that is what you need to develop. Size shouldn't matter. My son is a full foot taller than me and a big, broad man but he wouldn't DARE talk to me like that.

Can you tell us why he said it, what resulted in him saying that?
Personally, I think it’s very disrespectful, I have a nearly 15 year old son and he’s never called me names/sworn at me.
I know a lady whose son is 15 and she is scared of him, she won’t correct disrespectful behaviour for this reason and he has now taken this behaviour to the school and is often abusive and violent to staff and pupils, she was advised by the school to contact the police but because he’s her son she won’t do it but I think it’s acceptable for this to happen, if you can’t control your child, if they’re bigger and stronger than you and you’re at risk of physical abuse.
Stay strong OP, also can his father talk to him?

@historysmiles12 - Why are you suggesting to call his school? If he’s being abusive and smashing things up at home, that’s a home issue.

Same with my 3 teen boys. They kick off, they may even shout and swear but a firm "you DO NOT speak to me like that" and it nips it in the bud and they strop off to calm down. Probably too late for OP, I fear though.

I think we need more context in this situation, OP. Is he normally respectful? Has something happened that has upset him?

Can't advise without more details really. Hope you're ok.

Withdraw taxi service, cancel dinner and turn off the wifi.

I know we all resort to these kind of threats or consequences and I'm not judging but I still find it sad that 'turning off the wifi' or 'taking away the ps4' are the best sanctions we have up our sleeves these days.

Hope you're ok op. Call the police even if you don't want to do anything you can ask them to come and help de escalate. Guessing your issues are bigger than "switch off WiFi etc".
