Hi
I'm new to this so you will have to bare with me. I have a 14yr old son who between us clash in a very big way and Im just after some advice as to what to do really. We are are so simular we argue about everything. I am a bit over protective of him cause he is my only child and again its my personality as im a worrier.
He is so disrespectful to me, he wont listen, he doesnt do a single thing I ask him to do. In the last 6 months his behavour has affected his school work too. there is not one day that goes past when he talks to me like I'm dirt- purley because I ask him, for the fourth time, to wash his face or clean his teeth. I know my mum has told me to leave him and if he doesnt do these things he will suffer. However I have tried this and it always ends up in an arguement and everything being my fault when in actual fact its me who is looking out for him.
our relationship is also casuing problems between my husband and I who we have been together for 20 years. His attitude is stop argueing with him then all this will stop. He then says he can't handle all of this but yet he isnt getting any of it!! So subseqently we then end up argueing as I say he will get away with this bad behavour and not respect anything or anybody.
Wwe are going around in cirlces and to be honest I am at the end of my tether with the whole situation and have even thought its me and I should go see a doctor.
Any advice whould be gratefully received.
:)
