A person commented: Pushing back and general laziness, Im afraid is a battle faced by all parents.
Could you talk to your boys about taking back half stories to your ex?
Another member of the same Facebook group wrote: Ex lost respect for you.
Current lost respect for you watching you allow exs treatment.
Teens eventually followed suit.
Someone else responded: Time to have a serious talk with the teens.
Ask them what they want to achieve.
They cant continue to play the drama triangle game.
It may be time to do some parenting courses.
Disagreements should not end in shouting matches.
Punishments should be appropriate.
Best bet is limiting devices.
Have an honest chat with the teens: Whats with ignoring when I ask for things to be done?
Anger & jealousy as you started a new family?
Their mom poisoning their minds against you?
Youve let them down some way?
Teen boys are old enough to communicate whats really going on.
That said, the teens may ignore bc youre not there 24/7 to confirm your authority.
