11 Year old Behavior

My 11 year old is the youngest of 4 children.  The older ones are 24, 23, 20.  He came along much later almost like a grandchild.  Thus, he yells at me.  Refuses to help me.  Keeps asking until I give in.  I don't know what to do with him.  He is extremely smart.  But behavior wise he is exhausting me.   HELP!

Hes the baby and my guess is he gets spoiled , maybe a little bit, it would be good to set up some rules and have some consequences , Tell him he is not to yell it is disrespectful, he only does it because you have allowed him to. No TV NO PC when he does it, they are the consequences, or some other trip or games he cherishes, has to be something he would miss. Stick to the rules, if you give in it wont change you are in control not him. If he wont help you, same thing you with draw a privilege from him, *** for Tat...he will soon learn children actually thrive better and feel more secure than running amock doing what they want...Good Luck you are just one good caring MOm....
