Wow. You sound like a horrible person and a really bad parent. So thankful you weren’t my dad.

I'd get him started chewing tobacco. That's what fixed one of my kids.

He is a kid maybe if you show him how to fly the drone, gave him quality stocking stuffers, and don't laugh at him when he falls the dude won't cry.




I don't know how to fly a drone. He goes out when it's windy and cries when it won't fly straight. I told him before he went out it was too windy. He wants to play rough games with his siblings and then screams at the top of his lungs repeatedly when he gets bumped wrong. I only laugh when he's balling over something ridiculous, not injuries.

I'd listen to this baw. Sounds like he has experience with this.

Check him out with a specialist for sensory issues/see if hes on the spectrum.

ETA: Most kids on the spectrum that arent fully disable just need coping mechanisms to deal with frustration.

Shame never work, it just makes us feel guilty while we still want to serve ourselves. maybe teach him some coping skills to better handle those situations. There is nothing wrong with wanting something to come out a certain way, but it’s how we react to something not going our way that is important. My 10yo girl is not much different at times, but she feels attacked and shuts down if I try to lecture, so I have to teach less directly, more discretely.

It’s crazy as parents we get upset at our kids for not knowing something when it’s our job to make them understand. It’s our fear of being a bad parent that makes us lash out and self fulfillingly become a bad parent.

Maybe at dinner just bring up something where you failed, how you handled it poorly, and or a time where you let it go, have the other family members do the same, ask them ahead of time to think of something, have them ask you question about your story.

It sounds like your son could be on the spectrum. Which makes your family’s actions and attitudes even more despicable.

He doesn't have any stress, he's just raw emotion and always has been. I figured he'd grow out of it, but it's not happening. I can deal with alot, but this pushes my buttons. Not being a pussy or crying in public was really all there was to life when I was his age.


You don’t like your kid. You are going to say you do. But it’s plainly obvious you do not.

And he can sense that. His father dislikes him. That’s gotta fricking suck.

Makes a world of difference if the family deals with it.

Have a brother in law with a kid that is obviously on the spectrum but neither him or the drunk arse baby mama wants to deal with it.

I just dont understand people who dont care enough about their kids to seek help when its desperately needed

I didn't realize how baby-shite soft the OT is. Lol at these responses. If you didn't grow up before the year 2000, then you've been raised in this weak arse society that teaches you to always be all up in your emotions. Of course people here think crying over literally everything is acceptable.

You need to channel Bad Santa here.

quote:



Willie : Jesus, kid. When I was your age, I didn't need no fricking gorilla. And I wasn't as big as one of your legs. Four kids beat me up one time and I went crying home to my daddy. You know what he did?

Kid : He made it all better?

Willie : No, he kicked my arse. You know why?

Kid : Because you went to the bathroom on mommy's dishes?

Willie : What the frick? No!

Kid : He tried to teach you not to cry and be a man?

Willie : No. It's because he was a mean, drunk, son of a bitch. And when he wasn't busy busting my arse, he was putting cigarettes out on my neck. The world ain't fair. You've gotta take what you need when you can get it. You've gotta learn to stand up for yourself. You have to stop being a pussy and kick these kids in the balls or something.

This has to be some kind of a joke by the op.

If not…I really feel for the kid.

I've seen several kids like this, even my oldest, most of the time they grow out of it as emotional maturity catches up. If he is an extremely bright child, this is not uncommon, smart kids don't express themselves well and have issues when things don't come easy to them. Likely will grow out of it.

He needs to be evaluated. Unfortunately if he is on the spectrum his families years of negative reinforcement has done nothing but mess him up even more. Sounds like this child would be better off with a more deserving family.
