So DS is 13. A not untypical teen grumpy, messy, slovenly and a bit argumentative. Enjoys spending time with pals, playing on his computer and rugby. Can be ok if on own with him - had pleasant walk with ddog and DS on Sunday only slightly marred by DS wanting to make me buy loads of expensive tat from the garden centre I didn't. He's horrible to DH more than me. He is polite and conversational around other friends parents which gives me a bit of hope.
I've read a few books about it and think he's entirely normal. Question is when does he start being ok again? Slightly dejected by the thought of another 5 years of this .
