You know Victory as much as i love reading your threads i am now living in fear as i have 4 children one of whom is about to hit her teenage years then i get 5 years grace before the next one hits lol.....
Anyway the point of this post ..... should i abandon all hope now that im going to get through the next however many years unscathed? pmsl xx
Many people do come out unscathed:rotfl::rotfl: I just like it how it is and how it is is own up and fix not leave on side and forget to tell me:D
You know you will be fine, you get out what you put in and I thought I had put in plenty to reap honesty:rotfl: no seriously all teenagers have their moments but they don't have to be as big as mine:rotfl:0 -
Thank you call me as you will, childish agreed, pain in the wotsit when I know I am right agreed, go on and on agreed, we wind each other up because I was raised to be polite, honest, thankfull or is that appreciative and grateful for what I have, I take good care of it and they do go wrong and I do fix but would never ever break someone's elses leave it on the side and walk off.
I see it different to him and we will always clash, I see he is dismissive and shrugs and facebooks while I talk, he sees me as a moaner, an exaggerator, a shouter, a pain, an accusor, an empty threater, all those things but I see him as inpolite, dismissive and shrugger, where have all the manners gone from this teenager?
Oh I take it you did not read the very many my son threads what he wanted for his birthday:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
It is all done now, gave him a kiss and a hug, told him I love him which he knows, he said he loves me too and we have made a date to go out to lunch together to spend time together enjoying each others company rather than shouting, accusing and disliking, all good in the end:D
We always manage to bounce back;)
Are our sons twins? Are we? I see myself and my DS in everything you've said. We clashed over many - in retrospect - trivial and petty things, and always ended up kissing and making up.
Several posters have told you how you should have reacted, you know that and so do I, but they're not you, they don't have your son, and I can guarantee they've not got a parents handbook 'The perfect parents way to bring up your child'
. People can call him what they will, he's not stupid, just what he did was. What matters is you both know it, and no-one should tell you what he or you should have done
Sp pleased it's sorted, amazing what a bit of space and/or a sleep can do. As my wise old DM always said, never make a final decision until you've slept on it.
He won't be at home for ever but while he is (and like my DS even when he's left!) no doubt there'll be other times he winds you up and drives you to distraction, when you'll clash but then you'll make up as you've done today, with a hug and a kiss.
Enjoy your meal out and time together
