I’m putting this here ....

So I don’t shout it and moan in person here.

I’m fed up with trying with my teenager and getting moaning and groaning in return.

All I’m trying to do is make sure he gets enough sleep at night time. You would think I was the worst and horrible mother in the world. Fancy me wanting him to not stay up till 2am. On his phone or on the computer.

Imagine the horror of me wanting him to take a shower so he doesn’t get known as the boy who stinks

Imagine the horror of me wanting him to get up early enough so he has a decent breakfast and not be starving all morning.

The horror of me wanting him to have a decent lunch for school.

I’m done. He is making mornings and evenings so awful. My anxiety has gotten worse and I’m sure it’s because I spend all day dreading these times.

Yes I would like you to eat with the family instead of eating in ur room. I don’t care if none of your friends can do what they like.

I’m done and over it. Be tired. Don’t eat. I’m not being moaned at , groaned at , bitched about to his friends when he thinks I’m not listening. Don’t do ur homework and get detentions.
I’m done.

And breathe........

@EspressoButler I took the internet his phone and his iPad away. I think he ran out of things to do. I was stunned as well.

I used to read into the night, have no breakfast and was often late for school as I missed the school bus, had to take another and walk... But I did really well with my exams and career! So long as he goes to school, does the work and doesn't smell I'd look at the positives. If only my teen read occasionally!

Im going through this and my DS is only 9

We as parents are scum and should apparently put him up for adoption, that was his reaction to me asking him to put his uniform on this morning.

He has ADHD and on the Autistic spectrum. I hate mornings. I hate bedtimes. The bit inbetween is bearable most days but I am still at the end of my tether. He refuses to do his homework. He is triggered by everything.

I sm dreading the teenage yrs. Its going to be hell. Confused
