I have an 8-yo son who is very defiant like that. I have learned the only thing that works with him is reversing the psychology. I have to be extremely nice to him to make him behave if that makes sense. I ask him to do things rather than tell him. Once a battle begins, the only thing that works is being very loving to him. Then he straightens up and is on the best behavior all day until another trigger!

Psychology evaluation
I agree with the poster who suggested a psychological evaluation - RIGHT NOW. Don't wait. If you need a professional opinion before you do that, ask your pediatrician. Most likely they know some psychologists who specialize in evaluating children.
Could be he needs medications, could be he just needs behavior modification.
In the meantime, to keep peace, I would offer to help with his homework but would tell him to let me know if he needs help. Obviously, he considers your help interference and if you put him in control of the situation, it will be much better for everyone. Pick your battles and fighting his personality type is not going to work.
Best of luck to you and the little guy. Let us know how it goes.
reverse it
I want out of my marriage. Been married many years and been unhappy for many years. I care about my wife and don't want to hurt her, but I just don't love her and I want to be on my own with my two girls. They are not too fond of their mother, and I feel that I could give them a much happier life without her in the picture. I just want out, but she is holding on for dear life. It is too hard for her to give up the convenience of having everything done for her, I suppose.
Any advice on how to go about this in the most painless way possible??
Do you know about reverse mortgage?
Maybe not, you might be young but will explain for others who do not know. If you own your house outright and should your spouse die, you get sick, whatever you can continue to live in your house, and you possibly would get money also to live there until you die. Called reverse mortgage. More should know about it. A company takes over and then you will the house to them upon your demise. So that thing about selling the house, nah on this end. As far as short term social security, may be for younger people or not be all and from what I am hearing by the time social security is due to give out, probably would not be around then anyway so don’t worry about the short term thing there, money from previous hospital is until my demise, again no worry there, money in bank building interest only, don’t take from there, no problem there either. The only thing I consider myself rich in is happiness and love. Next.
My daughter is eloping in reverse! sm
She and her sweetie are coming to my house later this month and they are being married by the JP in early January. He has decided to deploy to Iraq in April, rather than defer for school, so they are getting married. She stayed with me this last summer and they met in June where she worked, although both of them are from out of state. They have been carrying on long distance and to be honest, have only spent about 12 days together face to face, but are getting married. They did some fighting initially, but after a short time that all quit abruptly and they have settled into a really nice place. They are very well suited to each other.
He called to ask my permission and I gave it. They are only 19 and 20 and I know, I know, I KNOW, but everything in me believes this is right...it is my mother's intuition and while I don't understand it, I'll trust it. I have been making a little dress for her to wear and will make a cake and have champagne. They have both thanked me for hosting their elopement in my home, for making the dress, the cake (I decorate cakes so it'll be fancy) and making this a magical day for them.
It is bittersweet for me because I am worried for him, and what happens to him happens to my daughter too. I want this and I am pretty excited to see my baby girl get married for love. I didn't marry for love and I am glad she is.
reverse cell phone look up service -- sm
but you have to pay to find out. It is possible though and if it is such a nuisance, it would be worth the meeger cost to put an end to it.
Read really good news on reverse this morning
including FHA which is for only over age 62 and which is insured. With anything people need to check these out. There are really good ones out there and thanks for bringing this up again.
