Why don’t you stop popping kids out and nurture the ones you already have. If you know he’s going to need a little “extra” then you are obligated to not keep having kids and diluting your time/attention.

Just be an involved dad. Firm yet loving and he'll probably be fine. You don't have to be a perfect parent. Teach him good values and plant it in the back of his mind when he's a teenager that you'll drive his arse to Sonic and show him old man strength at any moment.

9 is usually not an adolescent. Some kids are physically.
Go to library.
Get two or three books on childhood psychology.

I've taken an adolescence psych class before. That's why I used the term emerging adolescence. I understand hes not an adolescent yet, but hes getting ready to go through that stage and I can tell this is part of it. A class like that though isnt indepth about others personal experiences or advice I feel like I can get from my peers who are similar to me, like on here. Hope that's understandable.

You need to get your nuts cut.

My son exhibited the same traits at 9. It also coincided with his mom and I divorcing so it was especially tough. I’d suggest a road trip for just you and him, that’s what I did. Regale him with memories from when he was younger and explain to him you still love him the same as the day he was born. Essentially, assure him he’s in no danger of being forgotten or loved less.

Just remember you need to ask permission of the new one to lift the new one. I’m guessing you didn’t ask permission to lift the oldest which was the genesis of the problems you’re encountering today.
ETA your only viable course of action today is to cut ties with the 9 year old. Put him in a basket and leave him at the fire station.

Let your wife deal with the newborn. You spend time with the 9yr old. He will start to hate the little one because of the attention. That will go away with time. But 9yrs between kids? A little too much imo.

I would have him haul some hay. Unless you don't have any land. In that case, he's likely to turn out to like boys. That's what I learned growing up anyway.

Tell him your putting the new one up for adoption and he gets to pick the new family. Make him take the responsibility seriously and thoroughly vet the candidates (you can pre-select a list of 4-6 families). Hopefully he'll realize that it would be better to keep the baby with your family but if not you have to be willing to follow his advice, otherwise it would really screw him up.

Son is getting ready to turn 9, great kid, but hes pushing his limits lately.

Any advice to keep him from a choke slam?
quote:Buy him his own kid.
We just had our 3rd child and I think it's a bit of jealousy with our time occupied more on the infant.
quote:Yay! Arkansas is famous for fencing, polo and lacrosse.
No issues at school with him and he is involved in a few sports.

Is he the oldest or the middle? Not that it really matters, but either way, he's probably expanding boundaries lately in reaction to the brand new little one getting attention he used to get; that, along with it's a natural opportunity at his age to expand and further establish his independent identity, and perhaps become a little more independent; You just have to see how much latitude you're willing to give him that still remains a healthy dynamic of letting him expand and are still the one as the parent to make sure that his over all behavior remains acceptable.
Other posters here who suggested maybe assigning him some independent chores that he would know you are counting on him to accomplish to be a big help would make him feel important and like he's contributing.

Leave some print outs from the dark web about how to sell a nine year old to sex traffickers.
He will shape up.

Teach him to hunt.

That’s too early to be a parent IMO.

Spank his arse. Hard. And as often as needed.
