Should I be worried about 14 year old ds

[kee80]

Hi all just after a little advice. My 14yr old ds seems to have a constant attitude problem!
All he ever does is sit in his room or go out with mates.
When I go into his room to talk to him I just get told to get out and close the door!

I've asked if everything is ok and if he as any problems just says "I'm ok just get out your annoying!"

Anyone else's dc like this, is it normal teenage behaviour?

He also never comes downstairs to sit with us only in a morning before school or at dinner time

Sounds within the normal range.
They suddenly realise how little they have in common with their parents.
You could rebuke him for being rude in telling U to leave his room.
He has every right to ask but he can do it politely.

It's normal. You do need to make clear to him that it's unacceptable for him to be rude to you though. Politeness should go both ways as well - if you don't do so already you should knock before entering his room & respect that it's his private space. Don't worry, they turn back into normal human beings eventually.

Yes, sadly pretty normal. Just keep making sure he knows that you're there, and that if there is ever anything he wants to talk about you'll listen. And zero tolerance for rudeness - he doesn't have to like you but he does have to respect you.

Are there any TV shows you both like? All I ever really had in common with my teenage DSs was a love of TV - we've bonded over Stranger Things and stuff like that. Would that be an approach?

Thanks for your reassuring comments. Glad it all seems "normal"
I have told him to show me a little more respect when speaking g to me.
Good idea about knocking on his door first, I will do that from now on!
As for tv shows he will the odd occasion come and watch a film with us.
Can't wait for him to be a "normal" human again haha.

Thanks again for your comments

I agree that TV is your friend. Honestly, I don't know how they think parents feel when they're so bloody rude - if they tried to talk to someone at school like that they'd get a thump.
