I am ready to pull my hair out with this child!

Some one has taken my happy and polite little boy and replaced him with this back talking, mouthy, hateful, non listening little boy!!!!

What happened to my child and how in the world am I supposed to fix it???

When my roommate's child acts up like that I set him straight and tell him am the boss and there are some things he can be in charge of. Maybe do a compromise. How old is your child?

He just needs some good old fashioned discipline.  That's all.  Start with teaching him to respect and obey his mother, and all the rest will be pretty easy.  Tell him one time what he is to do or not to do.  If you don't get instant obedience, apply the hand of learning to the seat of knowledge.  It works every time it's tried, and you can live in peace and tranquility.
