Where is everyone?????

Why does me 8 yrs old always have to back chat and have attitude.... dont worry i dont let him get away with it but for god sake im over it!

example: he jammed his finger in door cried his heart out (there was no blood just going to be a bruise) i ran it under cold water and said all the right things then said chin up dry your tears . As his and DSS Lachlan were doing a grocery shop down the street i asked tom to wait as i get the cards but no he had to open the front door and said 'i can wait with the door open (he just jammed his finger derr). I said or rather yelled and said 'stop bloody having the last say and do what i ask and i saw him mumble something under his breath. So i yelled at him again about attitude gave him a smack and told him to get down the street as i cant handle a moping sulky kid! grrrrr KIDS and i just had another lol. We have tried everyhing and Tom is really good for a few days then he goes back to the back chat attitude kid .... which he never was when it was just me and him! Ah well he'll learn i suppose and school goes back next week thank god!

Plus im working this afternoon yay!!!
