Hi
I havent posted on here for a while. Ive had various problems with my DS however he seemed to get a grip with his life/hormones and behave slightly better.
DS has just turned 15, is very popular, very loyal and generally a nice kid. However when it comes to me and him I have learned over the last few years that basically me and my DS are too simular and clash in many many ways.
DS is a typical teenager. lazy, back chats, arguementative and just dam right horrible at times. I will never forget something my grandma once told me - You love them so much but it doesnt mean you like them.
I am going through another really hard patch with DS, he hates being told what to do. he tells me I go on and on at him. (firstly may I add that's because he doesn't listen - or do as he is told) This then proceeds with him screaming at the top of his voice at me many times. Clenching his fists and generally overpowering me. This has been going on for a very long time, my DH says I do go on but my problem is DS does not respect me. He shouts at me and makes me feel like Im the little women who has no voice! Clearly this is the problem as I will not have anybody scream and shout at me and just sit back and take it, regardless of who it is. It scares the hell out of me if he can hollar at me like this then how will he act with other people if he doesnt like what is being said.
I think he has a good life, as I said he is popular, goes out every weekend including after school most nights. MY DH picks him up so he isnt roaming the streets at 8pm. He goes to bed at 10.30 on a school night. He plays footy at the weekend and we travel all over for him.
Some may say this is the problem maybe too much of his own way, and I actually agree tbh, however I dont think my DH does. All I ever get from him is hes 15 I was doing XYZ at that age.
I just really stuggle with him yelling at me at the top of his voice folks and it is really starting to get me down. He had me in tears this morning ( I believe he was tired and grumpy due to his hair not going as he wanted) He told me (not asked) that he was having a sleepover friday and weds of next week as it was school hols.
I will be honest I can be controlling - however I have dedicated my whole life to my family and I'm dam well not gonna sit back and watch my DS wall all over me and abuse me verbally.
Sorry I know I have gone on but just voicing my anger [hsad]
