Parents Support One Another @ MyOutOfControlTeen.com/support = I need help with the following issue:

I am so mentally exhausted from dealing with my teenage son and his friends. While I am glad in a way that they hang out at our place, they tatally disrespect our space and my son will say "my bad" and say stuff like "we're teenagers, Mom" It takes 5 or 6 times of first asking, then yelling for him to clean up the dishes, etc. We've already said no one in the house unless one of us is home, but now the outside looks like we've become hillbillies!

Use the consequence laid out in session #3 Mark's eBook - the "When You Want Something From Your Kid" technique. In this case, you want your son to avoid having company over while you're gone.

Set it up where your son has to stay elsewhere while you're at work. When your not home - he's not home.
