Oh noooo, it has started. The Terrible Tweens.

[QuintessentialOldDear]

My oldest son is 11.

This morning I have had banging doors, swearing (lots of it), coupled with
"I hate you. You are the worst parents in the world. You are the reason my classmates laugh at me. You make my life worse, not better".

When will it end?

For sure, a difficult child will be a difficult Teen, or preteen.

But I dont have the energy.

I also have an exam today. And the last few months of stress and shit just makes me want to go back to bed and cry.

I dont want to be a grown up.

TOUGH! You have to be. I have an 11 yo DS who said this morning 'you go on an on so much it's boring as shit' He was in a foul mood, he has a broken toe which is not helping, of course he got told off. This is the same child who kissed me on the cheek as he left the car. I am hoping this book will be of good use.

I can bet you a million £ he won't even be thinking about what he said today, whereas you are left like a run over wounded dog. I get it, it hurts, when all we do every waking moment is to think about them and their needs and do what we do as Mums.

I would talk to him after school and tell him that what he said make you feel upset and he needs to think about what he says, there is something going on that made him say about other kids laighing at him, maybe you could talk about that and how to make it easier for him. Is he in Y6? mine is, such a weird time after SATS, nearly the end of school, transferring to high school etc, hormones a go go.

I can only sympathise and say he's normal.

Good luck with your exam!
