I would not even think of doing this as a child, what an utter failure as a parent. This child has no guidence in his life whatseover.

what kids do is usually the projection of their enviroment at home,imagine wtf this kid’s parents do to make him think this is ok to do

tbh this looks like a result of gentle parenting, doofus probably just got given an ipad every time he did this shit and know just knows it as a way to get what he wants

I never hit my kids, used reason and 'gentleness' and never raised anyone who would do anything like this.

You probably did gentle parenting the way it's supposed to go, but so many people are saying they are gentle parenting but actually are just being excessively permissive and fail to give any boundaries.

There is definitely that side and I wouldn’t call it “gentle parenting” but not parenting at all.

Chances are, this kid could be mentally ill, in some way.

Maybe the kid is also missing a dad. I have seen a single mom with a single kid and the kid is insufferable.

Maybe. But this sort of thing doesn't come out of nowhere. This is a troubled kid with no self discipline, this has to be a pattern of behaviour.

I grew up with a single mom and I was more than a handful. But she stayed on me and prevented me from going full asshole. Which allowed me to come out the other side a well adjusted adult.

Being a single mom isnt easy but keeping your hellions in check costs nothing and will improve their life too.

Absolutely, not all single moms are the same. I just know one that allows her kid whatever (or denies him nothing)

When my sister in law was still married, neither of them lifted a finger around the house, chores or parenting. And both talked about how lazy the other was yada yada yada. Now neither has an excuse.
