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.

That's life. You're an embarrassment to your son for the next four years. Get used to it.

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.

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.

Your son is at that age where he is gonna be thinking about sex every waking minute of the day. 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.
