To be completely honest, it starts with you. Your Son is like this because you have enabled it. He didn't get this way overnight, you have allowed him to be this way. Had you made better decisions in regards to discipline and expectations earlier in his life you would not be here asking for advice. You need to make fundemental changes in your approach to him or else nothing changes.

Whatever plan you come up with, you need to stick to it and be consistent. No wavering or waffling. I'm not suggesting you get mean with him, I'm saying that if you give him expectations, deadlines and potential consequences that you stick to it. If you say it, mean it and follow through.

I'm sorry if this comes across as demeaning, it's not my intention. I have personally witnessed what happens when parents let their kids get away with too much. My younger brother is a lost cause because of it.

Some here have suggested tough love. All I'm suggesting is a little tough love towards yourself might be a good place to start.

Good Luck and Take Care.
