I left a list of chores for you to do after school on the coffee table.
It better not be a long list. I'll leave. You're going to have to clean the house when I'm gone.
Listen, the dishes I told you to take car of Monday are still sitting in the sink three days later.
I have homework.
You are not going to do 20 minutes of homework and then play 6 hours of videogames. You make most of the mess in the house, you don't have a job, you will do your chores and be grateful for it.
Maybe I won't be home when you get there. Maybe I'll just move out.
Promise?!

Oh Lord that boy just doesn't know when to quit does he? Be thankful he is not a girl, I think they are worse.
I wish you patience and strength!
He doesn't, he pushes me to the very limits of my sanity.
He doesn't have any witty comebacks.....yet.
The Promise?! (you'll run away/move out) shut him up pretty quick though.
2 more years sweet Jesus, 2 more years.
one day, you'll look back at this and laugh - and probably not 'cause of the cool meds they give you at the happy place.
if you're like my parents, you've done your best to curse him with wishes of his spawn one day making him seem calm in comparison.
happy thoughts!
They grow a little hair and ohhhh the things they dare!
Boys... humph. He obviously does not know who he is messing with does he? ; )
Thank you ladies, for your support.
I try to keep my sense of humor, some days it's tough. I know it's his age, rebelling and all that. I can't wait until he stays with his father for the summer....right, like it's going to last.
Cicbug - it's a good plan, and I'm right there with you. Problem is, he doesn't have too much left to take away! He's grounded to his room until the end of school for some stuff he pulled (2 months). I'm holding my ground and ignoring the majority of his rude outbursts as best I can though.
I do have moments when I want to rip his lips off too.
He was this close to not making to 16, he hit that milestone Sunday. But, I have to tell you, 17 ain't looking so good.
you can only do so much as a mother. the other half of the game must come from him. I am a son to my mother as well, and well ... mom ain't too happy when I don't do my part of the chores.
Eventually my brain actually kickstarts and I understand. You will just have to wait a while for it. Sometimes it takes years.
*hugs* ... be happy.
S- have you read your email today :)
Okay, TAG, you're it! (if you feel like playing :)
Kfarmer - I will get to it, I promise.
