I woke up this morning to my son and his father screaming at each other. My son was screaming that he hates him for playing favorites with the others and my husband was screaming that he better shut his smart mouth. My husband had our daughter fixing his lunch for work because she put supper up last night and knew where everything was and our son was in the kitchen in the way. I admit, our son has a smart *** mouth. He's 12 and doesn't know when to shut his lips. There have been times when I've wanted to slap his face clear off of his body, but we don't believe in slapping,,,, spanking yes, slapping no. So anyways, I don't know what to do about his smart mouth. We've went so far as to sell his xbox on craigslist cause he lost it so many times we wanted to make a point. That didn't work. After the pain on the butt cheeks goes away, it's like he's forgotten he even got a spanking, and he has been grounded to his room for up to 2 weeks before. Not getting to come out except to pee or eat. Nothing fazes this boy. I knew teenage years were going to be hard, he's not even 13 yet and won't be until march. We've only gotten started and we don't know where to go.... any advice would be great. but please do not tell me to beat my child. I was beaten, etc as a child and would never do that. I only need supportive advice. Thanks.
