My son is 16. I am a single parent. He has adhd. When I ask him to do a job like wash the dishes he procrastinates until it's late at night, says he's too tired and can he do the dishes the next day. I say no and the battle begins. He starts getting insulting. Asking me what I do around the house and belittling my house work load etc. He gets incredibly argumentative (it feels like bullying) and won't stop. I then resort to immediate consequences if he doesn't stop his behaviour. Like removing the Wi-Fi cord. He then gets angry and wants to talk. I am beyond talking and want to get away. I go to my room and he follows. Refusing to leave me alone. Sometimes blocking my passage to my bedroom or stopping me from closing and locking my door. I realise I could of done something earlier before it got to this stage, but what? How do I manage this situation before it gets so out of control?
