Mamas with Teens and PreteensOh dear- the eye rolling, the attitude, the whines of 'OH MOM'... hormones? just a phase? being a teen is tough- being the mama of one is tougher...
I think we are starting puberty. Houston, we have a problem!!! LOL
My son is making me crazy. He cries at the drop of a hat. He's moody. He's resistant in areas that he used to be so complacent. Now that his homework is done, he's off moping in his room.
Oh thank heaven! I thought there was something wrong with my son (12). He's always moping and it drives me insane! I seriously thought it was just him. So what can be done about it?
Excuse me, I'm lurking in a forum I don't belong in, but no one told me my almost 6 year old son will become moody!! What, I thought it was just the girls and that my son would become easier to deal with. Eeek!!

I am right there with you. My ds turned 12 this month and is adding a gray hair a day to my collection. I really don't see how I am going to be able to handle 3 girls <sigh> Should I start buying the bottles now so I don't go broke during those yrs? (Only half kidding) I planned on the girls changing about this time but I though I had another yr or two with him. There are the good days, like today, all by himself he came and sat on the chair with me for some cuddle time. Never mind that I think he was just kissin butt since his school called home today, he is missing a ton of homwork in science so his teacher sent home a note for me to sign Which he tried to sign on his own and pass it off as his Dad's sig, it was erased so many times the teacher said the paper almost had a hole it in lol Gotta look on the bright side right, he still comes looking for some lovin from his dumb Mom. He really is a good boy just testing the limits BIG time the past couple months.

What I find amazing about this age is one minute he's having a fit about not being able to do something, then later than night he's cuddled up asleep with his stuffy. Very peculiar. He is wanting to be so grown up one minute, then such a child the next.
My 13 yo ds has been going through this for several years. I have noticed a monthly pattern, just as women get. I have tried to talk to him about when he is having his "period". He understands but it is still hard when your emotions are just on a roller coaster and you can't slow them down.
We just try to stay away from him during his period and be gentle with him. He is sensitive enough as it is!!

This does happen with boys. Mine did the same at about 12 or 13 - I was startled when they would cry if I scolded them. I did later learn that this is a normal, developmental stage.
