Hi, have a 16 yr. old who is starting with the mouthy stuff and all. Anyone know what you are and are not allowed to do as far as discipline. He has been a good kid but as of late its getting a bit unrespectful and sorta full of himself. Anyone know what the law is? He is bigger than his father which doesn't help.

Lock him in a closet until he's 21.
He will be a lot nicer and respectful then.
 
It sounds like you are thinking getting physical is your only resort...:eyebrow:

What about using the following privileges as leverage...:shrug:

Does he have is provisionals? If not, it's not up for consideration until he straightens out. If yes, he loses his driving privileges until he straightens out.

Cell phone? Same as above.

Spending money? Same as above.

Etc. :shrug:

A cop once told me that a phone book is a good heavy weapon and doesn't leave any marks. :yay:

My 9 year old daughter is already mouthy. Soooo, I don't have any advice. Maybe you could count down to his 18th birthday and then have a moving party :larry:

16 is a bit old to start thinking of spanking. :lmao:

What are you doing now for discipline?

The fact you had to ask reveals a big problem, not neccessarily yours alone but in our society as a whole.:shrug:

Slap that mouth get in his face and tell him you do not tolerate that type of behavior in your house the moment it occurs. No "wait till your father gets home" crap. Physical size isn't important, it's about respect for you and the rules of your home.

Remember, they can smell fear.

I totally agree, what happened to you the first time you mouthed off to your pop?

I agree - kick his little smart a*s to the moon.

He's too old to respond to physical harrasment. Taking away any of the things he holds dear...ie car, phone, weekends, or whatever will get his attention much quicker.

I never mouthed off to my dad. I was scared of the consequences. I tried not to be mouthy to my mom cause I didn't like when she was mad at me.
