ktgrok Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 First was: "I'm being really obnoxious today, so that tomorrow when I'm just normal you will think I'm being really good in comparison." Then later, when I reminded him he still had schoolwork to finish, "But I set the table!" As if doing that got him out of schoolwork somehow? Maybe because as a waiter he won't need algebra? Finally, "Just because you say I have to do schoolwork doesn't mean I have to." Um..yeah kid, actually that is exactly what it means.

GWOB Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Bless their little teenaged hearts! My oldest will be 13 in August. Some days? Well let's just say I understand why some mammals eat their young. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serenade Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Heh, heh, I have a 13 year old son, too. I so get it. Wish I didn't. One of my friends told me that this age was the hardest to get through with her son, but by the time he was 15 or 16, she started liking him again. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ugh..11 was BAD. He's less angry, and more just brainless now. I mean, i can't even get mad exactly, when he says such ridiculous things. I just stare at him with my jaw hanging open.

Lucy in Australia Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Haha... yes, better about it before we burst out crying :glare: My nearly 14-yr old is there too, only today he's recovering from a nasty cold, so you know... not really sick, but not really well. I may run away from home, only the 3 year old would find me. The poor 3 year old who blindly gets into logic-type arguments with him. She will either be the most resilient child that ever walked this earth or be in therapy a lot. I'm not sure which yet.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down_the_Rabbit_Hole Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I think as their brains are being rewired for manhood they often speak during times when things are offline up there. I hope this is it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahliarw Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 We were just talking at my book club about the changes that occur in the brains of teenagers (especially early on). It really is very biological/cognitive. Mine aren't there yet, but my 3yo daughter sure acts like a teenager sometimes...I am very afraid!

mumto2 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 This should make you feel better. Ds13 loves to drive me nuts. Today during his geography he was making a list of nonrenewable resources. He listed chickens. Yep chickens...Why because what if we neuter all of them and they can't reproduce???? We would quickly eat them all. I explained that no one neuters chickens. Lots of work plus you can just not have roosters. No, my son wants to neuter them all. Also managed to sidetrack geography pretty well. Must of been fun irritating me because later he was doing something with dh. As they walked away I heard "So dad how do you neuter a chicken???"

kewb Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Well, if it makes you feel any better my 15 year explained that he is dilly dallying so much today because he has spring fever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
