May I just mention...

[JellySlice]

...that my teenager is a sanctimonious, self-righteous, arrogant, know-it-all BRAT. Even when he's depending on me to get him out of a fix!

There, that felt better.

I do love him. But sometimes...

The ego-centric world of the teen can be overwhelmingly smug & judgemental for we, the poor olds who know nothing, are to be pitied & sneered at.
The urge to slap their legs just for being so damned superior at tines is huge. But then they give you the odd bearhug or peck on the cheek & you forgive the buggers for a moment. 😁

And today he's all back to normal. Shows no awareness of the offence he gave yesterday.

I didn't even get the bear hug or the peck on the cheek.

Totally oblivious to mothers feelings? Little git 😂😂

My teen matches what OP but add in entitled as all Feck.

OMG i thought it was just me suffering this with DD her poor little brother is bearing the brunt of it too 😕

I did loose my temper with it today & told her to go upstairs to her room if she was going to continue to be so horrible 😔

Large gin Flackety? or
