Question
Was better. Now horrible. 13 yr boy acts respectful/caring; then we start giving priviledges back (with boundaries) and worse again. He's snotty/cocky/non-caring to mom/dad/sister (12). He said f* word to Dad because Dad finally grabbed him to not allow him to walk away. He is star student/smart/shmoozes teachers; but at home he can be horrilbe and uses your words against you. Last night he was horrible. I made mistake of slapping him on shoulder and he threw cup at me and laughed. Later he was sorry. His birthday is Friday. He wants special but how do I handle Friday and future. Christian family.
