Yall are freaking ridiculous if yall think the mom and dad haven't sat down and talked to him. This whole "he might be on the spectrum" is a sham as well. Sure it's real but damn, no wonder so many fell for the Covid is going to kill us all bullshite Look I have a six year old who is acting out all the time. We have tried everything, he sees a behavioral therapist twice a week. Guess freaking what, ain't nothing changed. His mom and the school lets him get away with too much so he pushes. He's tough as hell but only listens when I get stern with him. Kid is most likely just immature and needs to grow up some more. Start taking things away and tell him You love him but he can't play this/that if he is going to cry. Couple days later try again, repeat and rinse. There are a lot of pussies on this boards

I’ve read the OP a couple of times and have come to the conclusion that the kids main problem is a shitty father.

What kind of decent parent comes to the OT to bitch about their kid and ends it by saying he doesn’t think he can learn to live with it?

What are you gonna do if it continues? Kick him out of the house? Beat the shite out of him?

He sounds a lot like my 8 yr old son. He was diagnosed this year with Level 1 autism. He is extremely smart and in the past would be diagnosed as Aspergers. We have him in therapy. I'm adamant about no medication unless it became a dire situation. Therapy is helping, but is still frustrating at times. I would suggest seeking out professional help.

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.



Seriously, what kind of piece of shite father comes to an Internet forum and calls his own son a pussy.

I think the best possible thing for your kid is for you to be completely out of his life.

Man, he's 10

Love your child and keep positive reinforcement coming.

His peers will probably do more in correcting this than you & your family can. He's supposed to feel unconditional love & safety at home.

It doesn’t take a perfect parent to realize you and your whole family shouldn’t bully and shame your developing child for expressing feelings because of your predetermined views of how a child should act. Parenting isn’t a one-size fits all endeavor.

Thats not fair. This is the perfect place to come for this type shite. You can be honest and fairly anonymous. Parenting is hard and dare I say, sucks. Everyone is expected to talk about how glorious it is to be a parent but in real life it is hard, full of regrets and has no clear cut instructions. Dont judge someone else's parenting based on a post on the OT. The OP obviously cared enough to reach to for others opinions because he wants to help his son.

if he hadn't shite on any opinions that don't glorify his crappy parenting skills that might be an issue...he's looking for positive reinforcement for himself, not his child...

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


Honestly based on your posts in this thread, that may be the best thing for him in the long run.

You come across as a truly terrible human being

My daughter is a little over 2 and absolutely loses her shite every time we put out clothes on her. She’s generally a really well behaved kid. Very friendly, kind, and interacts with kids she’s familiar with.

But the smallest things can flip her switch and she turns into a completely different kid. Uncontrollable at times.

She’ll sit down and pout, then come to us and say “sorry daddy/mommy”

But it’s every damn time. I’m hoping it’s a phase. She does the exact same thing when we wash her hair.

I’m worried that there’s a sensory issue

He’s probably got OCD. Seriously, a kid with OCD will have those issues the OP states, especially the “has to get it right” part.

CSB: My 10 yr old was playing LF in a game and the baseball took a sudden bad hop and it hit off top of his glove and then his mouth. Coach asked for time and went out to see if he was ok. Coach comes back past the stands and told me he was fine, had spit a tooth into his hand and asked coach to hold it for him, spit some blood, and said he was fine. Cool “my boy” story.

No, be came here to shot talk his kid and call him a pussy.

Big difference between that and legitimately asking for advice.

Maybe he wants to feel loved and this is his only way he knows to try and get that attention, no matter if it works or not? Instead of having a dad who wrestled and puts him in a wrestling class to toughen him up? Perhaps not all people are the same inside and eventually he’ll grow out of it, but if he doesn’t grow up to be a tough guy wrestler will he still have dads love and respect?

and?

Look maybe you are the perfect parent but sometimes I need a place to vent where my girls can't hear. Ive called them demon children (to my friends) but I dont truly believe they are the spawn of satan. If he calls his son a pussy every time he cries that would be a problem. If he bites his lip and then posts it on the OT who gives a frick?

Ok take the drone for example. Next time the kid cries because it can’t fly straight, put your hand on his shoulder, get on his level and look him in the eye:
“I know it’s frustrating when the drone won’t fly like you intend it to. But you can’t quit and cry when you mess up. Otherwise you’ll never be able to fix your mistake and get better at it. You can do it. I believe in you. Now let’s try it again.”

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.



Seriously had this conversation a million times. The most common one is him asking me to throw the football and about 5 minutes in me telling him we're just hanging out and having fun, it doesn't matter if you drop a ball. Then he balls anyway and I tell him to go inside until he gets it together. It's exhausting playing with a kid that has to have everything go right all the time. I was actually the same way (perfectionist), but would only blow up in private.
