Hi all,
My lovely 16 year old DS has been particularly snappy and rude lately. He's doing brilliantly at school, has a solid group of friends, and is having a great time with his first girlfriend since he's been with before xmas - so I can't see that anything external could be a problem for him.
I'm a bit concerned because a side effect of medication he takes for a health condition can cause mood swings. My DH is sure that DS is just being an entirely normal 16 year old - pointing out that DS' grumpiness isn't ALL the time, and certainly doesn't seem to be directed to his mates or his girlfriend 😂
Obviously I'll be keeping a close watch on this, and will talk to his doctor. But it would be great to hear what your sons are/were like around this age...he's my eldest so it's difficult to judge! Thanks x
