My 14 yo is on holidays and starting a sailing camp with his friends today. We spent yesterday getting ready buying him wetsuit etc.
We haven't told him or his brother to go to bed since school broke up and they've had some very late nights in recent days so last night I told him to go to bed at 10 in preparation for early start/sailing today.
He was straightaway so rude and refused to go saying it was demeaning to be asked to go to bed and said 'fuck you'... We lost our cool roared at him to get to bed and took his phone out of his room for night to recharge in kitchen.
As soon as we went back to bed, he went down to get phone and stay up. We left him as not sure how you make a 14 do something??
He went to bed at 12 in the end feeling very righteous that we d been in the wrong asking him to go to bed.
What do I say today?
