(Girls tend to specialize in trivial drama and perfect bitchiness.) It will pass.<br /><br />IF you have the emotional and physical wherewithal to keep him physically active - it helps. <br /><br />Have you ever trained a bird dog? They snap, run away, have unexplained fits of nerves, sulk, indulge in spells of astounding stupidity, and finally mature into something pleasant and acceptable.<br /><br />Happy parenting. :)<br /><br />Old JillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-36936779479094207092014-09-30T20:16:05.965-07:002014-09-30T20:16:05.965-07:00Is the behavior correlated to the arrival of the n...Is the behavior correlated to the arrival of the new kitty? <br /><br />What does his peer group look like? Member of any organized youth groups? As a wanna-be teenager he will soon spend much more time with his peers than you. Look at his friends and think where they will be in 5-10 years time. Your son will be right beside them.Aelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788190394672505925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31246093.post-35054571342084676132014-09-30T09:56:13.185-07:002014-09-30T09:56:13.185-07:00Be patient, Number 1 Son was pretty horrible at th...Be patient, Number 1 Son was pretty horrible at that age and even when he was 15, but turning 16 and having some responsibility seems to have turned the corner for him. After being a camp counselor and having to look after his sister he is slowly getting a clue about getting to sleep on time, eating better, and not spending his life glued to the computer. <br />The 11 year old is also getting better now that we have deduced the connection between glucose levels and screaming. Keeping her in the zone makes everybody happier. Also, parent time away form kids is an essential safety valve.<br />Regarding Hawaii, I guess that is the reason why all the HGTV shows are filmed on the Big Island or Maui and never on Oahu. It sounds like you have some post regular army stories to tell down the road.

I know a lot about that sort of parental grief.<br /><br />Your relating of the recent trip to Hawaii makes me rather glad I never bothered putting up with plane rides to get there...Syrbal/Labryshttp://www.herlanderwalking.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
