    Little **** in bother again at school.
    He's only been out for two weeks after fetching the police to the house & he's in bother again.
    I've tried taking his xbox stuff away & grounding him but it makes no difference.
    I'm at my wits ends with him, don't know what else to do.
    I know how my father would have dealt with it, he'd have ****ing well brayed me.
    Any advice?

    One of the most difficult questions ever.

    Ask Thrush to have a word with him, about love and peace, and hippy things . . . . that'll sort him out :emoticon-0100-smile

    Or do things with him that would make him feel important, and that he's important to his Dad :emoticon-0105-wink:

    Or bray him like your Dad would have done to you :emoticon-0146-punch

    Very tricky one - I've got 2 girls so I'm not sure it's quite the same but I got them both in to a hobby that took up a lot of their time. Keeping them busy with something they really liked meant they had less time to get in to bother.

    Would he go to the likes of karate or boxing? Something that needs discipline to succeed.

    How old is he Billy?

    Sit down and have a few drinks with him if he's old enough, he might have something on his chest that a few beers would help him open up about.

    Failing that, take his bed away and feed him slop.

    He could be 17-18 for all I know, they've got to stay in school to 18 nowadays no?

    I was probably drinking beer aged 14 and onwards, I turned out fine <ok>

    Billy mate, my lad is 21 and is just starting to turn the corner now. We had six years of hell, I've fought with him, called the old bill when he's tried to trash the house, he's nicked from us, smoked dope, taken cocaine for six months, taken legal highs, left home and come back umpteen times, sofa surfed at friends' houses, he's suffered from anxiety, had two jobs and went on the sick, refused to work.....I could go on and on and on.

    We think he has some kind of mental condition, not sure which of the many there are nowadays that he might have.

    Anyway, he comes out to work with me two days a week and we are just starting to get there with him. The thing is, he just never seems aware of his surroundings. He isn't daft but he just doesn't know when he's upset someone. Either that or he's thick-skinned.

    I wish I'd spoken to him more when he was younger. That said, it isn't always possible as he isn't a great communicator. Hopefully, your lad will learn the boundaries. Be firm but fair, let him know exactly where he stands. The one thing my lad said was that he had to learn from his own mistakes.

    We had similar problems with a granddaughter some years ago, parents sent her to us but she was less happy and would not talk or explain her behaviour. It turned out she was on cannabis just be accepted, but we did not find this out until much later.

    Unfortunately signs are so hard to detect, just keep pegging away Bill.

    My 12 year old daughter nicked a tenner from me off the kitchen table recently. Stupid little idiot wasn't bright enough to get away with it. One thing I learned from my son's behaviour is to be firm but fair, set the boundaries and let them know that you won't put up with any bullshit. My oldest daughter, by the way, is a school teacher who wouldn't think of behaving like the other two.

    So the one thing to take away from this is not to have kids!

    No, just don't be soft with them and make them realise they have responsibilities in life. And be consistent, stick to your guns. Give some of them an inch and they will take a mile!
