13 yr old boy and moving

I am moving from nw ohio to southern florida.By the begining of june.(2 weeks away)
My 13 yr old boy has been giving me a really rough time.I can't walk right now (that will be explained in another thread).So,my boy has to do alot right now.But he keeps putting every thing off.I mean I have to ask him like 5 times.Before he actually does it.
My hubby seems to think that my boy is thinking that if we don't get things done we aren't moving.
But everything is craved in stone.We both quit are jobs here.Have our house up for sale and selling everything that can't be taken in a truck and our van.Thats all we are taking with us.

Hubby just left today for florida.He starts his new job monday.He and hubbys dad is coming driving back in two weeks when the kids get out to come get us.

How can I get him to

me without him giving me so much grief? I know its going to be hard on him.Its hard on all of us.

I am at my wits end.No matter what I ask him to do.Or tell him how to do it.He has a better way that takes even longer or it doesn't work.He just isn't listening and

s about every little thing.

Oh,yeah,I can't forget hearing the Ug's ,uh's and do I have to,or no when I ask him.

How 'bout smaking him with your crutches.
Kids are so selfish. I don't know what or advice I can give that will .
Have you tried talking to him, letting him know that you understand what he's feeling.
He has to move away from his and everything that's familiar to him. Does he have a girlfriend that you know of?
It sounds like he's just not wanting to move. Regardless, he needs to get with the program and out or...or...he won't be able to go to the closest FL beach and see the hot babes.
