I am also going through similar issues. I was in tears last week. I feel like banging my head against the wall. I would tell DS7 to do something 10 times and he would not do it because he was distracted, or not paying attention etc. Then he would ask me a question. I answered him once, then he would ask the same exact question again as if he did not hear, or he did not like the answer I gave him. I avoided him all last weekend.

Whether it is your kid who is being argumentative, or my kid who is very distracted (or he is just rebellious), I hope this is just a phase they are going through.

I don't have an answer for you. I just want to send hugs. You are not alone!
