i have been divorced for 2 years. i work at the local bank.
I told my son repeatedly to do the dishes, but instead he played video games all night and never got them done. You should confiscate his video game and teach him a lesson.
It never works, he just gets angry at that point and refuses to do things.  He's very crafty, he gets it from my husband, he's a lawyer. That could be a good solution. He doesn't mind walking the dogs, but it gets him out. I could ask him to do that. Fair, I don't want him thinking he gets whatever he wants. Thanks for the advice! We have a good relationship, he just likes video games way too much haha.
You could look up ways of punishment online in hopes of finding a solution. I personally would just threaten to sell his game system.  Next time he wants a game, you could make a list of chores for him to do. Once he finishes his chores he could be rewarded. Yeah, anytime he wants something, he should earn it. Kids aren't getting out as much because of technology. It saddens me. Exactly, that's the main thing, he would be spoiled to the point where he will resist like you said. Have to do that asap. Absolutely, also if you feel like building a better relationship would help. Try bonding with him more, could also work. I see, kids can be stubborn. I was the same way. One of the best things to do is sit down with him and reason with him.
well . some people might disagree but kick his ass ! show him who is alpha . set up a punishment schedule to keep you both in line . well , you need to find something to tease him about . well , you need to find something to tease him about . well , you need to find something to tease him about . well , you need to find something to tease him about .
Maybe you could play your own video games? Oh wow yeah that is quite impressive! He should become a lawyer if he isn't one already! Yeah, dogs have to learn how to play.  Kinda funny you don't always consider that. Yep. That comes with being a parent. No problem! Maybe you could play your own video games?
You should introduce him to some of the streaming services offered on xbox, so he might stop playing that fortnite game!

I would suggest he also buy No Mans Sky. Its an action-adventure survival video game which will help him relax. I would suggest he also buy No Mans Sky.
