Smart mouthed kids - just venting

Wah-wah-11's picture

Been fussing for weeks about leaving the door open. Dog gets out, flies & bugs get in. I fuss at the step kid for leaving the door open & the dog get lose. A few hours later I start outside the dog runs past me as soon as I open the door. I ran to grab the dog before she got off the deck. So SS is sitting on the couch yelling at me that I'm not suppose to leave the door open & I need to shut the door behind me. Next it's here go put your movies and DVD player up, don't just throw them down put them up. Five me later I find them all just thrown down. SS is laying on my bed. So I say that's not past up, you need to go put it up & he refuses. So I take them& hide them. He finds them missing later & asks where they are. I took them. His response "what's the point in you telling me to put them up if you are just gonna take them from me?"

Everything is smartass comment, you ask him to do anything and he gets mad and runs his mouth... Over his mouth

Next time you have to tell him to put his movies up and he doesn't file them away in a trash bag and hide the bag. When he starts looking for them later let him know it was a "Cause and Effect" lesson, then let him know they have been thrown away. Essentially if he causes you to teach him a lesson he will wish he didn't.

That's not a good enough reason. I feel a need to be on an island relaxing on the beach..ain't gonna happen anytime soon.

Kick the cretins OUT of your bedroom and stand firm on your rules.
