My bright, clever boy has turned into someone that I don?t recognise and barely like.
He has been disinterested in his education for a while, didn?t try at GCSEs or ASs (but still did reasonably well), and is now saying he doesn?t want to go to University next year. That?s ok with us, if that is what he wants ? but he has no plan of what he wants to do instead, and no plan or interest in doing anything about this. The lack of careers support at college makes this situation worse.
On top of this he is often rude, and tries to pick arguments and wind me/DH up at every opportunity; often taking very extreme stances and gets quite aggressive in his language when we try to discuss/respond back. Help!
