Really would welcome some views on this please. Just got home from holiday with DH, DS14 and DD13. Yet again it was spoiled in parts by DS constant foul mood, incessant moaning and whining, intolerance of anything and anyone who wasn’t British, nit picking at his DS, snapping at everyone. He was pretty much awful for 75% of his waking hours.
The holiday on paper was / should have been great. It’s not like we were forcing him to do anything he wouldn’t/ any other child wouldn’t ordinarily like. Plenty of time to rest and relax too mixed with some days sightseeing etc.
He’s been like this for the last 4 years or so. It’s incredibly draining, it’s as though he says every awful thing that comes into his head. He literally cannot stop moaning and complaining all the sodding time. And some things he says are just vile, especially about other people he doesn’t know, I don’t know where he gets it from or who he is. I know he’s a teenager and at the mercy of his raging hormones, it just seems very extreme and I don’t particularly like him if I’m honest which is upsetting.
Does this sound within the realms of normal teenage behaviour to you?
