It pisses me, his mother and all of his siblings off and we've tried everything, from ignoring it, to laughing at it, to talking about how you lose people's respect when reacting like that, etc. I wrestled and so did his older siblings, so I put him in wrestling to toughen him up but we're in year 3 and no improvement.


You seem to be well on your way to raising a future heroin addict. Congrats on the stellar parenting.

How about you get your kid some fricking professional help, dick.

Well it is possible that he has been bullied, witnessed something awful, or God forbid is a victim of abuse. And he is scared to tell you, because he assumes you will ignore him, laugh at him, or tell him it is his fault -- since that has been your approach so far. Instead of chastising him as if he is intentionally doing something wrong, talk to him to find out what is really bothering him, take him to see a professional counselor. There could be any number or things that is causing this. I doubt he wants to cry about everything. Help him figure out what is causing the problem so it can be fixed.

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.
I haven't seen a single person say it's "acceptable". Plenty saying to get the kid help and don't be a fricking a-hole to him, though.

How many kids do you have? I wonder if he’s just looking for attention and doesn’t understand the difference in good and bad attention.

I don’t know shite though. Just throwing it out there.

Sounds like this child would be better off with a more deserving family.




Way better off, thanks for the idea. I'm going to drop him off at the orphanage in the morning.

I don't know if it's that, but it could be anxiety. Much different times when I was younger, but I had similar issues. Now, I have anxiety issues, very minor, but it's easy to see now how similar my issues back then were. Also, you're a shite parent if you haven't realized that you can't raise all of your kids the exact same way.

ETA: directed at OP, just replying off of Fun Bunch's post.

This is what you need to do. Could be a form of autism.

Also, you came to the wrong place.

Normal kid. He'll likely grow out of it.

while it may appear like he is being a whoosie pants. he may be very very sensitive. seriously talk to him and tell him it does not matter what others think and it doesn't matter his drawing isn't just right.

He's not autistic at all. He's a pretty awesome kid except for this one thing.

Some children are wired different than others. Instead of trying to force your child to be like you by shaming him and being a hardass, maybe try taking him to a therapist, building his confidence, etc.

It takes a real shitty parent to act the way you are and throw your hands up that one of your own children doesn’t act exactly how you want him to at all times.

I dont know where you live but have you considered that he might have some issues from the last few years. We all assume that kids are resilient but the last 2 years have been a hell of an insult. Your boy was at a critical stage of development and his coping skills may have been affected. Children's perception of the last few years are traumatic. Covid, social unrest, political strife, school closures, sports canceled etc are a lot to internalize. Maybe get him into a counselor? At minimum cut him some slack because he may be having a much harder go of it than his older siblings did.
