Ooof. Clearly, I needed to put 'light-hearted' as it wasn't clear in the tone of my post.
We haven't asked him what's wrong because we KNOW what the matter is. It's the same conversation we've had for months now.
He's in a piss because:
He got yet another disruption conduct point in RE today. This is becoming a weekly thing as well as in other lessons, and frankly, we're unimpressed by it.
As a consequence, he's lost his Switch and TV privileges today. He had his phone, but that locks after 3 hours use, so he's used all that time up.
It's not his fault he got the conduct point. His RE teacher hates him. He's not responsible for his disruption.
He kicked all of his footballs into the neighbours' gardens. This is a daily occurrence.
They haven't yet thrown them back. For the millionth time.
It's their fault that he doesn't have any footballs to play with. He's not responsible for them going over in the first place.
It's not his fault he's lost his Switch and the TV for today. Yes, he knew those were the consequences as they're not new to him. It's our fault for enforcing them.
The sighs and flouncing are to get us to bite and ask him if he's okay. The moment any one of us acknowledges it, he will absolutely rip our heads off. He will scream, shout, rage, and take zero responsibility for his own actions. So we're not biting. In fact, I happened to be in the garden, on the phone, when one ball went over. I made a palm up 'whoops' expression, and he squared up to me and started asking what I meant by that. I turned and walked away.
Forgive me for trying to make light of a tense environment in my house on a board that I thought would get it. It's not AIBU. I didn't ask if I was unreasonable not to ask him.
