Title: Grumpy Teenager Post by: Biddy 62 on January 07, 2010, 04:53:10 PM Do they all become grumpy? Our only lad is becoming hard work. He's always been pleasent and really sociable but recently its as though he's embarrased to be with us. If we visit friends or family he does'nt want to come. I got really pissed off at the weekend, thought we'd have a family day out in Sheffield, a go on the big wheel and a restraunt. Gets to the big wheel and he tells me he's not bothered about going on, no reason just "its boring". I was'nt best pleased so i decided to cut my nose off to spite my face and pulled the plug on the meal. My sister and friends say he'll grow out of it but he's doing my head in.
Title: Re: Grumpy Teenager Post by: Colchester Kev on January 07, 2010, 04:54:18 PM LOL get used to it, don't try and fight it ... will almost definitely last 3 or 4 years.
Title: Re: Grumpy Teenager Post by: relaedgc on January 07, 2010, 04:58:15 PM That's life. You're an embarrassment to your son for the next four years. Get used to it.
Title: Re: Grumpy Teenager Post by: GreekStein on January 07, 2010, 05:04:34 PM Yeah cut him some slack imo. He won't wanna be around his family all the time, just needs a bit of his own breathing space. When parents force their kids to do stuff is when problems happen imo. As long as he isnt doing drugs or stealing etc he'll be ok.

So i get my mate back 2014. Yeah know what you mean with drugs, some of his old schoolmates are smoking skunk, staying up all hours and skipping school.
Title: Re: Grumpy Teenager Post by: StuartHopkin on January 07, 2010, 07:30:20 PM It really is pretty standard, how old is he?
Things change and he wont be interested in the family events, gatherings or meals for a few years. I know its hard but I really wouldnt worry too much about what his friends do and whether he joins in or not. I smoked skunk, skipped school a couple of times and stayed out late on occasions but the fact I had good parents meant i was never out of control like some people. Try and stop him joining in with his mates will cause you more trouble imo Give it a few years and you will have the japes of him discovering beers and coming home not being able to speak. You cant stop it whatever you do, so just ride the wave, try not to take it personally and be there for him if he needs you.

I was the same mate when i was younger my dad would put his arm around me and i hated it, It will be hard but give him a bit of his own breathing space. i can't remember how old i was when i grow out of it but i have moved out now and i love meeting up with my old man now on Saturdays and spending the day together at the football Title: Re: Grumpy Teenager Post by: Scottish Dave on January 07, 2010, 07:35:29 PM How old is he???

It's just sex sex sex. Being on the big wheel in Sheffield with his family renders the chances of him having sex on that day practically zero. Thus he has no interest in it. Want your mate back? Book a weekend in Amsterdam for the two of you. This is the sort of day out he's looking for and you will be bessie mates for ever.

Mantis your the tops.
Title: Re: Grumpy Teenager Post by: bolt pp on January 07, 2010, 09:39:06 PM tbf he should probaby be past the old "knife drop, look up waitress's skirt" gig and onto the: "what's a sexy lady like you working in a plce like this for, you got facebook", turn out.

Mantis your the tops. Kid is a G. Yeah, all standard stuff really. I'm 22, and my mum still tries, or at least asks, if I want to go shopping with her and stuff. I politely refuse, unless she needs my help with something. i.e. buying electronics and stuff. Trust me, when he's at uni, he'll like coming home because laundry/cooking/etc just sucks!
