help he's so moody

[Fooso]

my once joyful 14, 15 in august, son is making me so sad. He is sulky, you can't say anything to him, he doesn't interact much with he rest of the family and i hate to say it but i actually relax when he goes to his dads every other week.I try everything to please him which I think Is a mistake. my question is do I just ignore it? toughen up around it? he is my only child and we used to be so close.

I have one the same age and I see glimpses of this and think "ooooh sh1t" but then he does something nice or goes out with his friends and is happy.
How long has it been going on and are there any triggers?
I find doing something with DS -watching a tv series that is too grown up for other DS (8) or taking him to play pool just us two or what ever your teen is in to- really helps.
Dinner ready, will come back later!

I read your post and it felt like I wrote it. I also have a son; he is 15 and is exactly like yours. He is very hard working and responsible, does his homework by himself, does sports even works once a week. Buy became very distant, does not talk to me at all and is always grumpy.

I posted on another similar thread. It seems to be the age. The only good thing is, it is a lot worse with girls and starts a lot earlier. My DD is almost 13 and is driving me nuts. She is so much more intense and all over the place. I just hope it does not last too long; I am hanging on a thread here. I have three kids, the youngest one is 9.

Does he see any friends out side of school or is he a bit of a loner?

Having been through the same with Ds1 and now Ds2 , my advice is to try to ignore the moody, entitled rudeness as much as poossible.

Rise above it and don't take it personally. Don't sweat the small stuff and try to ignore or respond with humour. I don't think they can either help or control their vileness.

It does pass after a few years and they become pleasant and considerate once more
