I am really quite despairing at the moment with my 13 year old, Year 8 son. He is breathtakingly arrogant about everything and basically just finds fault with everybody and everything. It is as if nothing brings him any real pleasure and he just has a very negative attitude about everything.
He is a bright boy and he is involved with lots of activities during the week and I would say he has a very comfortable life but his constant negativity is really starting to affect the family.
Is this the joys of becoming a recent teenager and with plenty of reminders will we see the light again or are we doomed to this for the next 5 years?? We are not a miserable family who find fault with everything around us but it is like he is warping into this not very pleasant person......
