    Thank you tea and beanie.

    Tea I think the hormones are definitely on the way. He goes from the usually him to crying then angry then back again.

    Today has just been stressful that's all I have to say about it. I don't even have the energy to rant about it. What will be will be I guess.

    Aww bless him. And after the tears and anger comes the moodiness where you probably won't be able to get 2 words out of him unless he's hungry :rotfl:

    Sorry to read you've had a stressful day. As long as you and the DC's are OK that's the main thing. xx
  • The teenage years are difficult with all the hormones and moodiness :(. All I can say is that they don't mean most or any of what they say when they are rude to you. They get upset and angry and the hormones kick in. Luckily it passes and they become lovely humans again eventually :).

    They always take it out on those closest to them and where they feel relaxed enough to sound off. Better for him to get it out of his system than keep it bottled - not easy for those on the receiving end though:eek:

    Just checking in with you. Hope all is ok. I don’t envy you about to go through the hormonal stage with DS but thankfully they do grow out of it. I’m sorry you have to go through all this alone with no help from family :( Don’t forget we’re all here and lots of us have been there and shrunk the T-shirt xx
