wow, that's alot of replies, thanks guys!

Yea, i would like to try as much as i can to refrain from making him leave the table. He ain't a bad kid, he's just got a lot to learn in life. I was pretty tolerable of him the first 2 sessions, trying to teach him.

but yea, he plays a wizard, i think it might be because of his obsession with MTG, and the fact he can dish out quite a bit of damage later on. But on the topic of his class, he casts his spells like no tomorrow, and by second breakfast, he's out of spells and he becomes bored. I've explained to him how spells per day works, but he seems to ignore that.

He sells everything he finds, even this OP fire staff which i had a fun story arc for him to play around with, but nope, he sold it for a cloak of stealth because he wants to have a higher sneak bonus than the rouge in the party.

He tends to become offended when he's hitting on a barmaid, but rolled a bad roll, so the barmaid ignores him and gets mad at me. He also becomes insanely jealous when someone picks up a nice new sword for their class and yells out "i want one too!" even if he doesn't have the proficiency.

lastly, He doesn't seem to understand the concept of RolePlaying, nor do i expect him too because he's young, but he does not respect the other PLayers RPing. such as, 2 characters are having a in-game debate, and he will jump in out of game to show one of the RP'ing players his new magic card or what not.

I've asked his father if he could talk to him about it, and he says he has, but nothing has changed, and i don't want to look like im judging his parenting if i step in.

So, ive recently gotten into Pathfinder 2 months ago, the first tabletop RPG ive ever played, decided to GM, and i have a group of friends that i am GM'ing through ROTRL. since a month ago, when i first started GM'ing, i've been reading everything i could find on how to GM tabletop games, how to deal with certain players, how to reward them, learn to never say no, and i even bought the Gamemastery guide.

However, i have found nothing on how to handle this particular player. My group consists of 3 adults and 1 young teenager. He is the son of my friend within the group, and he's 13 years old. His hobbies consist of playing call of duty all day, perfecting his "no scope" shots, making COD videos to upload to youtube to show off his, and i quote, "l33t" skills, and playing Magic The Gathering. I was not particular thrilled when told he would be playing with us, due to his disrespectful and sassy attitude, not to mention his eager competitive nature to be better then everyone else. But it was either that, or he plays COD in the same room screaming at the TV.

how do you handle kids such as this type in your groups? those with short tempers, who have a sense of entitlement, and who become too competitive against the other players? Everyone agrees, he is a disruptive, however he is my friend's son, at his house, and the kid does actually enjoy the game, in his own way.
