He's a good kid. Bright. Reads a lot. Just started at the local Grammar school.
He has local friends, but he's always been a bit lazy about organising things with them (I often end up doing it!)
This half term (we have 2 weeks - we've already had one) he seems to have sunk to a new low.... he's juts blobbing around complaining he's bored, and winding up me and his little brother constantly 
.
Last week there was stuff organised - bowling, a sleepover, a walk + pub lunch, visit to friends etc but this week it's more difficult, as I have some stuff to do at home, and some of his friends are away.
We were out for 2 hours this morning in town, but the minute we get back he starts whinging and causing trouble - he's driving me insane!
He's already been in the computer for over an hour, and I want him to do some other stuff instead.
He is currently lying on his bed fiddling with a rubiks cube thing, saying 'waht can I do?'
But he seems to have an excuse for everything I suggest... (reading, his robotics kit, arty things, playing his guitar...) He is like a toddler - wanting constant attention!! I never remember being this high maintenance at 12 - I was off with my friends, or spedning time making/doing stuff on my own.... 
He is so bright and talented I can't bear to see him watsing away his time like this.
Aaargh!
