| i can understand your mom's concern. I almost banned my son from watching "deathnote" (It's an anime show), because he always walks around so morbid. However, once we sat down and talked, I decided I was over-reacting. We parent's tend to do that. Hopefully, affter talking tour mom, she will lighten... |

You asked about what to do when he talks back, is rude and hits his sister. Do what you would do with any child. Enforce the consequences. Reward hi... |

| I am wondering how old you are and have you always felt this way, even as a child? I can't really give you an answer on why you feel this way. Some of it may be an asperger's thing, but I do not have asperger's syndrome (my son does) and I have felt these feelings sometimes too. Sometimes, depressio... |

| I know someone like that too. I guess alot of that is teenage stuff. Maybe he would go out with you and your wife if it was something that interested him a little bit. Sometimes I just tell my son "You are going with us and that's final". Sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. |

| This can come in handy if you are the parent. I told my son not to eat in on his new carpet because he could hurt the carpet's fibers, which are like it's soul. I hope this wasn't mean. |

Sexy jackass was one of the sayings. The funny part is the rest of the family will adopt these sayings. Sometimes itseems they are ebarr... |

My son is very stubborn and I find that what works best is to be very methodical. If you do a, you get b. If you d... |

As for my parents, they are all freaked out. I don't know why I chose to vent to them one day. It is hard to vent to anyo... |

I think you have to remember that these things are edited.
in addition, some of these moms are exhausted and may get little support. So they say their innermost feelings. At least they are attempting to take care of of very difficult children. |

I wore about 6 pairs consecutively for 3.5 years before finally putting on some khaki pants. I'd wear the athletic shorts even when it was raining outside. I... |
