Today My wife tells my son to do simple things, he reacts very angrily and un appreciative towards her. ( We have done everything to please him, do things with him, etc etc.) then I step in, lost my cool and he pulls his fists towards me. I said some silly words. My wife sticks up for him stepping in every time, I Tell him to go, leave. We have calmed down and he's doing the dishes with my wife. Find out hour later he's taken of, his older brother sneakingly picked him up. Without us knowing. I'm angry at myself believe me. I'm crying to God I feel I've failed as a parent. Im simply at a loss what to do.

P.s My son sits in his room all day, has access to his phone n laptop. Comes out to eat when he wants. This goes on for weeks. We've done things for him, his sports, sat down talked with him, asked what are his passions what does he want to do in life. We take him out to dinner, buy clothes shoes etc for him. We are not rich we get by.
