Deal with my rebellious 12 year old in a consistent calm way even though he makes me want to scream the way he's been behaving lately

    I’m such a push over. He drives me crazy all weekend long and I fuss at him and hurl empty threats.

    I’ve devised a system involving punishement/rewards via cash. I’m going to use a chart system and see how it works starting this weekend.



    I'm trying so hard 3 years ago

    to deal with him. He seems determined to make every step of the way difficult. He feels so mistreated. He pushes my buttons and is very disrespectful.

    I do have a short temper and have always had to work on not yelling, keeping myself in check. Now it is especially difficult the way he pushes me. I know I can’t be all upset, especially being pregnant right now. I stay calm and cool most of the time but man oh man, I’m at a loss.

    I have ordered some parenting books out of desperation just to see if I can gain anything from them.

    I’ve scheduled an evaluation with a youth couselor and maybe that will help some.

    His father wants the best for him it seems but he likes to blame me for everything that happens and attack my son by being degrading and cruel in his words. (“you never do anything right”, etc)

    He’s been destructive of my things and his own and has lied in my face about it again and again.

    I’ve no idea what I’m doing here…
