In October of last year my husband and I split, and now it's just me and my 13 year old son (from a previous relationship). For a while he was fine, he was doing extra stuff around the house, being respectful, and we got along great. Recently he's started to throw tantrums, like he's 3 again, whenever I ask him to do his very simple chores. He picks up dog p**p, cleans the guest bathroom, and cleans his room. I expect his chores to get done on the weekend, and every single weekend it's a battle to get him to do anything. I've taken away the computer privileges, the phone privileges, I've added extra chores...I don't know how to get him to just do his chores. Anyone dealing with this? What would you suggest?
