Drama Queen and Son

Hi all,
Well our house has an atmosphere at the mo,hubby and son are at war
Honestly i don't know which one is worst
They are both doing my head in.
Luke has a real attitude at the moment,and the way he has spoken to his Dad the last few days is out of order.We will not allow him to walk the streets with his friends and he's saying he's never allowed out,may as well lock him up etc etc.Anyway a couple of days ago he brought a girl home,not a nice girl by any stretch of the imagination,and now hubby is inventing all sorts,what if he gets her pregnant etc,he is at the right age etc. He doesn't say it once he's like a bloomin parrot!
At the moment i'm tending to take a back seat and have selected deafness and let them two carry on with it.
I know hubby is right,and asked him to let me talk with Luke over the weekend when hopefully things will have calmed down a bit.

Aw Sal, it's hard when that happens. You're probably right taking a back seat for now and talk to each of them on their own, you'll get more sense that way!!!!
Big hugs Sal.
Axxx

we had an incident tonight at work where a young lad ran to the garage for help after being pulled into a house ...he was petrified a mate of mine in the shop walked him home so his mum could call the police ........
so sorry am with you there its not safe to walk the streets

he is 15

Teenage years are so difficult Sal. Thinking of you xx

It can't be nice being in the middle either, hopefully he is just having a bit of a rebellion and probably knew you both wouldn't like this girl and was being antagonistic?

It is such a worry isn't it, we hear so many things on the news about gangs setting on people and beating them up etc, no wonder you are worried for him.

Hope it gets resolved soon

Stick to your guns it does get better I promise,and one day they will admit you were right takes a while though.

Thanks for your support Guys.
The teen years are awful,i know i wasn't an angel but i wouldn't have dared talk to my Dad the way Luke has.
Things are alot calmer this morning,we have reached a sort of compromise,he can go out till it drops dark at about 5 then he's in.If he abuses it he won't be going out at all.

oh crikey i remember the time when my girls where teenagers. and my ex, it got so bad i couldnt handle it any more they drove me mad. in the end (it was just b4 xmas) i told them to sort it once and for all. or i was leaving!!!
as for your OH if he keeps on at your son it will make him even more determined to go out, also meet up with *bad girls* and yes he will want to know what all the fuss is about. how old is your son?? is he old enough for a *relationship*if yes buy him some condoms. touch of reverse phycoligy (sp?)
and i still worry about my kids and they are in there 30s and youngest is 19. and id lock her up in her room or have my OH escort her around LOL

Yes it is really hard Sal - mine don't go out much but Laura went out last week with a female and a male friend and they just walked about, I thought things were reasonably safe up here but in a village about a mile away a friend of hers and and another girl were walking when they got followed by 4 Asian lads in a car that tried to get them in the car, they were terrified I just hope my daughter has learned a lesson now and doesn't want to go out after dark.

He's nearly 15 and knows it all,like they do at that age,he seems fairly happy with our compromise at the moment,so we will see how things go for the time being.
