He'll come around I'm sure, all you can do is hope you've raised him right (which I'm sure you have). Teenage angst sucks, hoping my daughter doesn't get it too bad (she's 10 so I've got a few yrs. before we cross that bridge...if I'm lucky anyway!).

Teen rebellion is a requirement. Just keep your wits as much as you can. My older daughter will be 14 in a couple of months and she's rebelled about numerous goofy things so far. I'm just hoping to keep the outright hostility to a minimum. :crazy:

So THIS is normal...? YUk

LOL yeah, unfortunately. Take heart, though, because he should turn into half-hermit, half-blur in the next year or so. :)

Is that better or worse than Out of control over flowing bundle of testosterone?

I remember like it was yesterday...
I was a very angry and bitter person as a teenager, but I certainly grew out of it. I used to give my parents so much crap...
Now I really appreciate the bounderies and rules they set. They kept me out of trouble. I have turned out to be a fairly good person I think, and it is thanks to them.
Just try to be patient :wink:

Well I will keep trying LOL.
I know he's a good kid, he's just being a pain in the you know what currently.

Hockeymom,
Beautiful bp, congrats! Great markings.
I understand about the 14yo and the "wish you would go away and leave me alone"
You sound like a cool mom, he will one day look back and see how lucky he was.
I try to stay young and do fun and cool things w/ my son. We use to play street and roller hockey together, go parasailing , bungee jumping etc. But now I am just not cool enough
It will pass, keep up the good work.

Heh, Yeah Marla is right ... he'll be a hermit in now time ...
I remember when I never wanted anything to do with my parents during my teenage years, which aren't that far behind me lol ...since I'm only 19 =/ ...
Trust me, once he moves out as I have ... he'll be missing you like crazy.

Yeah, I'm 14 and I know us teenagers can be really hard on our parents but we don't really mean to, we still love ya! lol I have really thought about what all I've said to my mom and dad and im embarassed and ashamed about it, I was really hard on them, but I didn't mean to hurt them. We feel like we need "our" space and don't like to spend as much time with our parents than we use to, but sometimes when I just sit in my room I think about all the things I've done to them and feel bad, but trust me it will get better.
