Ok I know I am not the only one fighting the I am almost a teenager and know everything battle! I am open to opinions bc I am about to lose it! ! My 225 pound almost 6 ft tall 12 year old will NOT listen to a single word I say, not even the simplest little things!! I have taken things away, done the love talk, stern talk, scream, cry, silent treatment, all! !! Hes convinced hes always right, and often times twists a Bible verse or two around to prove it. As much as telling us we are wasting money bc we wanted to go buy an icecream the other day, and Jesus wants us to take care of our money, not buy ice cream!! Duh, mom its in the Bible to be a good stewardess of Gods money! In all reality he was to lazy to get his shoes on, but at the same time kinda right! Ricky is super good with him, but hes not always here. Koda thinks I am always joking, and just dont care! Uhhh! I just wanna do this mom thing the Godly way, and actually raise a decent human!! I am praying praying praying praying praying, I even catch him asleep and oil him! ! What do I do with this man child? (FYI- he feels no pain in the spanking department, laughs through it, just makes him think you hate him!) I may need a tour through a correctional unit, something!!
