Arguments with your teenagers - please share your horror stories!!

[Rosesarered2018]

So my normally very placid 16 year old's computer broke tonight. He went MAD!!!! It ended in him calling me a 'dickhead' and me throwing a glass of water over him that I had been drinking

I feel like crap now and need to hear some more stories. I hope we will laugh about this one day!

The water did calm him down though

Where do you want me to start there's been so many. One ended with us having a viscous tug of war over his duvet because he wouldn't get up for a Saturday afternoon rehearsal (which the organisers had rescheduled especially for him as he had a leading part and couldn't make the regular time). I remember thinking "what have I been reduced to."
Too many arguments to recall over the PS4 and not coming down for lunch or dinner, or not being ready to go out to planned events.
I decided a long time ago not to get into fights with him any more - it just wasn't worth it and I would come out of them more hurt than he - we see flickers of the lovely happy engaged boy he was before the hell of puberty arrived but mainly he now seems to have a silent brooding contempt for us.
