What do i do, when my 11 yr old boy swore, got drunk when i was away for an hour, and acts like he is 3?

Question

My boy, Keegan was left home alone for an hour, while i took the others to the park, got drunk, (drinking 5 beers that he climbed a counter and took from the top shelf of a 9 shelved cabinet) then he swore at me about 9 times, and he acts like he's 3 sometimes, this happened yesterday. (all of it)

I am thinking about grounding for a month, no tv,computer,or any electronic things. Or making him right "i will not get drunk or swear" 200 times. Or putting him in a diaper for a week, also am opened for suggestions. Which do you think is most appropriate, and do you have other suggestions.

Answer 1

well if he has a cell phone take it away from him for 3 or so months and computer and any other thing he has that'ss electronic, then i suggest you make him do some house work to teach him some responsibility  and sit down with him and talk to him about the way he is acting and why, make sure he realizes that this was a very bad choice and that there is consequences to bad behavior  and try to figure out why he did this in the first place once you figure that out try to fix whats wrong so it wont happen again, I wish you the best of luck!  and if all else fails you could call nanny 911 haha but I think what I said will work!

Answer 2

first of all - get a liquor cabinet, lock all that

up, so he can't get to it.

second - grounding him seems almost to

light, like he is 11 !?

and he got drunk ! and started swearing at his

dad ? that's absolutely unreasonable.

Answer 3

start swearing at him, and make him drink so much alchohal that he will be barfing all day. lmao at the diaper thing a would so laugh at him for that.

Answer 4

Make him write that 500 times, ground him for a month, and take him down to the police station for an MIP.

Answer 5

cmon i think the best thing to do if he thinks its cool to drink  would be to get him so drunk let him stay up as late as he wants and then the next morning crank  music up next his ears at like 5 am and do it till 7 and dont let him go back to sleep i dont think he'll do it again at least i didnt

Answer 6

sounds like you either have a serious problem or the beginningg of a serious problem. i would take everything out of his room except his bed and clothing. make him earn everything back one by one.definitely don't leave him home alone again and you might want to consider locking up your liquor or just not having it in you're home at all. standards and the diaper thing wont work. he needs serious consequences that have lasting results.

Answer 7

have those tubes tied ASAP.

Answer 8

May be a bit late now, but 5 beers is dangerous for an 11 yr old, should have gone to emergency dept to see if they wanted to pump his stomach.

He probably has no idea about swearing at you, so I would not make a big deal of that or he'll realise that he did it.

Grounding is the minimum. No more leaving him alone as he needs to earn that trust back.

Answer 9

The grounding would work the best :)

The writing is lame and doesn't do much. . Same with spankings. Hurts for a few minutes and then it's done.

The diaper idea is just wrong...

Answer 10

You're thinking of grounding him for something that was YOUR responsibility?  It isn't his fault you left an obviously irresponsible child home alone.  That was a decision YOU made, don't blame your son for the bad decisions that YOU make.  

Answer 11

Before you ground him ask him first why he did that.Maybe he lost a bet or something,then lock up all that wine and liquor.Finally consult a doctor because maybe some of that liquor got into sensitive parts of his body .I recommend you not to ground him because maybe he feels bad about it just imagine if you were your son you wouldn't want to be grounded.

Answer 12

Non of that will work.

That's for kids. He's 11 and did an adult thing.

Spank him and send him to military school [[:

Answer 13

I would ground him for a month and wash his mouth out with soap. You have to stick with it though. While he is grounded I would make him read alot...it's good for the brain, and I would talk to him abouy the consequences of the choices that he makes.

Answer 14

handcuff him to a table when you leave the house. then smack him when he curses.

Answer 15

Show him what would end up happening to him if he continued acting in that manner  

Answer 16

put him in a diaper

then spank him

ground him for 2 months

and teach him why it was wrong

Answer 17

tell him to smoke or chew

Answer 18

GROUND HIM! month. no electronics, no friends, no NOTHING! then wash his mouth out with soap.  

Answer 19

And your 5 & 3 year old touch eachother under the bed, you don't know how to potty-train triplets, and you're 11 year old got drunk?

I don't know what to believe.

But make him write I will not get drunk or swear,

Take away  electronics, and no friends.  

Answer 20

Wash out his dirty little mouth with soap if he curses at you. If he is drinking at this age you need to do something about it, no more alcohol in the house. Sorry but sometimes that's the only way to be responsible. Give him a good grounding and if he acts like he three treat him that way. Start taking things that are important. Take everything from his room but his bed and clothes, if he has a door take that too. After living like an inmate for awhile maybe he'll shape up.

Also consider changing his school, this could be an enviromental thing. He might be learning from his friends. He might be learning it at home also, if this is the case you need to change the household too.

Answer 21

pssh yall r trippin. i think you should whoop his you know what

Answer 22

Ground him 4 2 months no tv, computer, electronics, hanging out with friends, fast food, soda, and diaper thing is a good idea.

make him write it 300 times

make sure he has like straight a or a and b's in school of he gets grounded longer

Answer 23

You just did it..

you made a troll out of yourself..

Congrats!!!!  

Answer 24

Of course he's going to act goofy and mean when he has 5 beers in him.  What would worry me is his decision to drink 5 beers in an hour at the age of 11.  This should tell you he can't be left alone until he has proven he can be trusted.
