He comes with a PS3, numerous games, a laptop, mobile phone, lots of clothes and a lifetime's supply of attitude.
He's incredibly difficult recently. He's argued with everybody, is totally apathetic, won't listen, and is surly. I've tried reasoning, I've tried telling him off and I'm out of ideas. Today's blinder was that he's lost his school shoes (he took them off for basketball after school) and has categorically refused to believe they're not here. No holes in the bag, NO FECKING SHOES. Does he care that they're missing? NO. Coz I'm just a giant sodding cash machine with legs.
I've told him he goes to school in trainers, puts up with detention, and finds the bloody things. I don't care. He's in an adult size 9/10 and they're £50 a pair. I'm a single bloody parent. You feck up, you deal with it.
I can't even talk to him, I'm that miffed.
I'm hugely cross and close to selling him or swapping him for a bottle of gin.
