But why would I cancel his bank account? Plenty of kids have bank accounts.
You're the one saying you've lost control. His bank account is YOUR back account. If he's not acting responsibly, take it away. Take the car away, stop paying for his cell phone bill, stop paying his/your car insurance.
There has to be more going on here. You cant be this feeble.
But really he is not that bad, he never gets in trouble at school, he doesn't do drugs or vape and is an all A student, my question was have you ever met a teen who acts like an adult

No because most parents put their foot down & dont allow it to happen

But would you rather your 15 year old smoke pot or act 30? I've met parents who would rather their kid do illegal activities but why they do baffles me.
You are making no sense at all. First you are all about the fact that you can't stop this kid from doing anything he wants to, now you say he's a good kid. Just what is your issue??

No I wouldn’t, but if you keep allowing your son to think he’s the adult and you’re not, he’s going to continue playing with you and it’s potential to go down a very dangerous path.
As parents it is our job to keep our children safe. I’m not the best at parenting nor do I like disciplining. I know disciplining is hard, which is why, personally, I leave it to my husband b/c the kid is his anyhow.
I’m pretty lucky my stepson is a good kid. I am usually pretty lenient but once in a while I put my foot down & it all changes. Putting your foot down is never easy, thus why my husband disciplines not me, but it will earn you a lot more respect as well.
I would suggest cutting off all funding to your son. If he wants a cell phone or the car or anything else, then he has to buy it for himself.
Your biggest mistake here was buying a car for him

Plenty of parents buy their kids cars so whats the problem? Please explain.

Clearly you did not read the whole post, i asked if anyone has met a teen who acts like an adult. Never did i mention having a hard time controlling him because I dont have to, clearly he is living successful so far and has never gotten in trouble with the law and has no intent to do so. Laissez-faire parenting works great. All the controlling parents kids seem to just be typical teens, smoking weed, vaping, and getting in trouble, when they can get their kid to make thousands in the stock market, become extremely politically aware, make all As, brush off bullies and have self control they can tell me their parenting style works great but until then, Laissez-faire parenting is the way to go.
