What happens to boys once they hit 16? Does every drop of blood leave their brain and go to straight to their fucking dick? Is this the way it works? Can they think of NOTHING else or do they just get really fucking confused and dumber than shit?????
Since my son has turned 16, which has only been a couple of months ago, his mind has not been where it's supposed to be...ok...let me rephrase that......he's gone stupid. He all of a sudden thinks that he doesn't need to do what is expected of him and what is right
Last week I got a call from his math teacher telling me that he didn't turn in his math project and there would be points taken off daily until it was turned in. Needless to say, the math project was done the same night as the phone call I thought I was going to half to beg someone for a blood pressure pill but the damn project got done
I got a call earlier today from the principal Of all the people in the whole fucking school to get a call from, I get the privilege of getting the head of the school Well isn't that just fucking special.
For whatever fucked up reason, he thinks he is above and beyond all the other kids that have to dress out in PE class. He thinks he doesn't have to obey the teacher's rules and instructions I'm not quite sure when he fell and bumped his big ass head but that is apparently exactly what he has done if he thinks he can just do as he pleases and not obey the rules and the teacher
If you cannot tell, I am angry!!! I am tears rolling angry!!! I am pissed!!! I am very frustrated and I am embarrassed by my son's behavior.
I now know why the school calls parents at work. At first I thought it was just to fuck up their day and maybe get a little pleasure out of it but NOW...I don't think that's the case at all. They call parents at work to give them the bad news so they'll have a few hours to calm down before they get home and they won't kill their kid!!! THAT'S why they call!!!

My first thought was..."natural consequences" eventually the natural consequences will catch up to him...
And then I thought, THANK GOD there is a responsible, loving adult behind your son, supporting him as best she can; stepping up to the plate (I trust) and being accountable for her share of the situation. As with 3,4,5,8,10 (etc...) year olds (and adults!) MISbehavior is COMMUNICATION! What is he trying to say through his actions. Unfortunately, oh gawd, you know what I'm going to say....it's all part of his growing pains and his chemistry is changing and then he's being bombarded by a society and mass media that says, KIDS RULE PARENTS DROOL! He's doing what he should be doing...in nature it's that period where the mama animal is basically shoving her baby animal out of the nest or shoving him away from the tribe so he can be on his own...unfortunately, being adults (and mothers) we tend to want to keep them young...for just a little bit longer and under our control until at least 18. He's stretching his wings and testing the waters.
It all goes into the mix to make for a recipe for (hopefully) temporary disaster and chaos and he (and you) make your way through this very rough patch. Remember, a person's brain doesn't even fully mature until they are 25!!
Trite but true...it's a matter of hanging in there with him. This too shall pass..thank God!

Hi Miss Lou
I'm not quite as angry as I was yesterday but I'm still a little ticked but it will all work out. Dish duty is looking better and better as one of my son's punishments

Hey PR
Growing pains as they may be....he's going to have a bigger pain than anything growing if he doesn't start walking the line a little straighter. I try to give him room to spread his wings and test the waters, I know how kids are. Shit, I know how ADULTS are. I still like to give my wings a stretch and dip my toes in the water at times but I know what's right and what's wrong and I can still test things within reason, as he can, once he realizes the way to go about doing this.
I've learned to pick and choose my battles with each one of my kids but disrespect to ANYONE is not and will not be tolerated!!! He doesn't do it at home and he knows damn well he's not to do it ANYWHERE but he's got this huffy puffy attitude thing going on that needs to be nipped in the bud right now cuz that shit don't fly around my house and he knows that. Baby bird will get his wings clipped real fast if he doesn't learn how to fly the straight and narrow from here on out

Well, part of me wants to cry with you, & part of me wants to laugh to keep from crying...
My son had his "problems" the beginning of school during August-October (before he turned 16 Dec 1st). I still have NO idea why he pulled some of the crap he did. Yes, he has 3 disciplinary actions on his permanent school record for them too. Me, his dad, & his step-mom (who works at the school!) were all so highly embarrassed by him.
His attitude has calmed WAY down, but it's been a struggle. I now have some very useful leverage. He wants to drive my van! You don't want to do your chores? I don't want to allow you to drive my vehicle! You want to go? Get busy boy! It's actually working!! I finally gots me sumpin over his very smart arse!

I can tell you are pissed and I don't blame you one bit. I sure hope things get better.

If you think flaming red eyes, hair standing up straight and fangs hanging out, drooling is sexy, then I think me and you need to have a talk
Thanks for the giggle
Just wanted to let you know that I mentioned you on my post today......hope that's okay with you.
