DS is 12, I guess a lot of it is normal for his age but it is getting me down as just having a normal conversation with him is getting so hard.
Example this evening - he had been in a history lesson today and was interested and engaged so all is good.
DS - 'hey mum, is is true soldiers used to live down in the trenches?'
Me - 'yes, they did, must have been horrible for them.'
DS - 'why?'
Me - 'oh well, it was muddy, it was cold, rats ...'
DS - 'rats? I wouldn't have rats, I'd kick them, I'd kick the stupid rats. I could, couldn't I, mum?'
I know it's a bad example but honestly every conversation we have turns into how great he is and how stupid everyone else is. A similar conversation after an English lesson was about how quickly he'd have got his gas mask out, he'd have ran away from the gas.
Does anyone else have this? And AIBU to be fucked off with it?
