I don't know where he is getting it our if it is just they age but whatever I say is wrong. He has a major attitude that show on his face all the time. He is super mean to his brother lately. Everything has to be his way. If he doesn't get to do what he wants I hear "Oh my god" and he storms through the house and into his bedroom where he slams the door and starts to cry.
Seriously! I thought I had boys and not two teenage daughters. My youngest is about as bad just in different ways but lately I just want to shake the heck out of my 10 year old and ask him what his problem is or tell him to go to his room for a year and see if that improves his attitude!

I would sit him down and just say "hey, I noticed you've been in a funky mood lately, is everything ok? I'm always here for you day or night if there's anything you want to talk about." I know you are always there for your boys, but sometimes just reiterating it for them helps and reminds them that they can always open up to you. It could also very well be hormones! Good luck Mo!

It hopefully is the age-- my DD is 10 and does almost the same thing. She is just very sensitive many times, She has attitude too-- When I ask her to do something (pick up after herself) she asks me "Don't you know me mom---I'm a slob or lazy or something along those lines." She has issues other that this though.

Thanks Irish I should do that!
Deannemdm: I know what is with them being all snotty and sarcastic. Or asking why or saying I don't want to. I really don't care if you want to I told you to do something. Aurgghhhhh I just want to pull my hair out sometimes. Thank goodness I get to get out of the house tomorrow night for some bingo! LOL

It could be the age. My dd is about to turn 10 in a couple weeks, and she gets an attitude with me lately.

haha Yeah I would like to think it is just about his bday but it has been going on for awhile. I know the kids in the neighborhood where kinda being brats to him. Telling him they didn't want to play with him and such and I know that was really hurting him. Plus my kids LOVES to be outside but since it is getting dark so early he hasn't been able to much and I know that can make him super crabby lately too. IDK what to do with him!

That's so mean!! I don't understand how kids can hurt each other's feelings like that. I dread when DS gets to that age. I can't stand bullying or picking on people.

One thing I noticed when my boys were that age and in school all day was, they have to be 'good' all day long because that's what's expected of him. But when he gets home he can be crabby and salty and moody because you're going to love him anyway.
What needs to be said is that it's not ok to treat people that way. Not your brother, and definitely not your mother. Like Irish said, you'll always be there for him. However! It's NOT ok to treat you that way. AND!! there will be NO door slamming in this house and if it continues we take the door off of the hinges.
