AAAArrrrghhhhh!!!! My son is only 11 but his attitude at the moment is absolutely appalling!!!! Kinda the stereotypical teenage attitude we all hear about!! Can someone please tell me how long this is likey to last for cos I've had enough of it already!!!

You say your son? It will last forever I'm afraid honey.... sorry. Want a drink? lol

It just gets worse Jill!!!!!!!! Have a voddie..............the whole bottle might be a good idea! LOL

remind him of Anne?

welcome to parenthood from what I understand!! :O)

Well just to cheer you up my 13yr old daughter (on the 16th feb this year) has acted like she has PMT everyday since she was 11 its now become like the music you hear in B & Q lol you hear it but dont sing the song. As stated take to the drink. Steve

he just drives me completely insane!!!! If he asks for something or asks to do something - I only need to open my mouth to answer him and all hell lets loose!!!!!! Having not even uttered a single word!!! And god help me if he dont get his own way on anything!! Thank for for chilled white wine in fridge!!! pmsl

My lad is 13 and can sometimes be the sweetest kid Ive ever met and then suddenly he becomes the spawn of satan......Guess its not just him then!! Bev

Steven - PMSL!!!

Your lucky, I have two eleven year old girls and a fifteen year old girl and they are the same! not to mention the three year old, dont know which is worse! Think I will join you with a voddie! now why didnt I think of that before? Marie

Oh Marie you have my sympathy! My girls are 9 and 17..........need I say more!!!!!!!! Here, have another voddie! LOL

Thanks Jeanette, keep those voddies coming! Marie : )

Shame white slavery is illegal now, coz she would have gone east last year lmao. Drink up Steve

all you can do is just quietly go off your head, it helps got two, and daughter has been hard work, since she could walk and talk, my boys trying to show his teenager strop sometimes but it doesnt last long, wish you all the best, and plenty of you time

Jill it is quite simple as long as you understand them a) nothing you say or do is right b) the world owes them a favour c) expensive designer gear is their birth right d) tidying, cooking, cleaning is why they have a mother 5) financing their social life/mobile phones/land line phone bills(when mobile out of credit ) is why they have a mother that works 6) free taxi rides to various social functions is why they have a mother that drives h) you cannot possibly understand this latest crisis cos you have never, been a teenageer/been in love/been dumped/been broke/ had parents who didn't understand you see easy when you know how Bev who can be smug cos hers have left home

pmsl at Bev!!

Jill, I really feel for you. I have a 15 year old monster who's moods change one minute from the next. A typical example of her moods happened yesterday. She came in from school I asked her how her day had been got the normal grunt then she sat down and she gave me a complete run down of her day, lessons, teachers, friends etc, it was the most animated I've seen her in months. 15 mins into this she said 'Why are you looking at me like that?' 'You always pull that stupid face when you are listening to me, why can't you be like normal mum's and not be so interested all the time!' Thereupon she flounced up to her room and slammed the door! the situation was so crazy I burst out laughing and I heard this very faint 'I hate you!' wafting down from her room. 10 mins later she came downstairs as if nothing had happened! The only advice I could give you is to remember they all go through it and come out of it and (most importantly) take one day at a time. Good luck Kate.

Hi Jill, My heart goes out to you, really! It does get better, eventually, but that's of little help now. My son has just turned 17 and is quite a 'nice' person now. But we had just what you're going through and worse! for the last 5-6yrs. All the typical 'bad boy' things. My M-i-Law, kept saying is dad and brother were just the same!! They turned out all right in the end! Aaaggh! Not what I want to hear! But she was right. He has turned out all right in the end. Thank God! It's a wonder he got to be old enough to, the amount of times I threatened to kill him! LOL Bev, That's oh so true, but funny when you've come out the other side! Debbie
