Feeling devastated right now at my son's behaviour (15 ).
He is the loveliest teenager until you mention that he has to do his homework (and come off his playstation). It's like a switch . He is at a rubbish school and very rarely gets homework, so he has private tutoring to get him through y11. If I didn't nag, he'd be on his Xbox literally 24/7
Anyway, tonight he was meeting his friends after school and I said I'd collect him at 5pm to come home for his tutor lesson. I text him and said 'see our at 5pm' and he said 'no you won't'
To cut a long sorry short he has refused to come home and gone to his dad's where he says he is now going to live! All because he needed to do an hour's work.
He has called me a cunt, a prick and called me mental. He did all this Infront of his friends who sounded like they were loving it.
He has text me saying I don't love him and out of all my children he is the only one I nag and tell off. This isn't really true, it's only because he is the only one who won't get off his arse to do things .
It is a battle to get him to do anything because of his playstation - going to bed is a battle, school work a battle, getting him to the bus in time is a battle.
His dad is being supportive but I am feeling humiliated and devastated that he has got his own way, missed his lesson and has refused to come home.
I just don't know what to do.
I haven't remained very calm
