[QUOTE="Waitingforamiracle, post: 760609, member: 25449"] I hate to admit it but he's a bit like I was at that age, though I was never as badly behaved as my son. I think we are both a bit "Aspie" as they say. But I didn't have a lot of empathy for my poor mom, who was a survivor of two wars, a child refugee and divorcee with 4 kids to bring up, plus mental breakdowns, shock therapy, you name it. She did absolutely everything for me, I never had to lift a finger... ( I did try to make it up to her when I was older!!) It's the law of the jungle, the more you do for your kids, the less they respect you for it... think of it like dog training (I've just got a rescue and have been watching a lot of training vids!!) If you demand respect and obedience from your furbaby you'll get it because you are showing leadership. If you give them everything they want in the name of self-expression and freedom, they don't do a thing you ask! Lol... but give yourself a break. There's things to be said for self-expression, both my kids are their own person, creative, funny and smart. One is friendly to us, one isn't . That's their choice... I'm getting on with my life and doing what I want for a change...oh, apart from picking up after hubby and dog... As for getting him diagnosed, I wanted to, when he was about 11 and had phantom 'hip pain' that led to a week in hospital for tests. But husband talked me out of it and we carried on... [/QUOTE]
