That's what my son called me, the worst mom ever. Also he said that I don't love him and I'm mean. He's been having a rough day today, not sure why he's acting this way. We had an argument earlier when I made him attend a family party that he said he didn't want to go to (which was weird because he stopped having temper tantrums when he was 3 or 4). He ended up sitting in the car pouting for more than half of the party (we were there 3 hours). So he lost his ipod and all electronic privileges for the day because of that, but when he apologized and behaved for the rest of the party we told him he could have 20 minutes of xbox tonight, he's used to playing xbox with his dad every evening while I'm putting his sister to bed. So then he and his dad get into an argument tonight about the xbox while I was giving the baby her bath and putting her down for bed and so his dad took away the xbox and now my son thinks we don't love him. I'm so sad. Tried to talk to him about it but he just started crying and said he wants to be alone. Wth? He's 9 years old and doesn't act like this usually, is it a growth spurt or just the start of the tween years? Oh gosh I hope this isn't a preview of what life is like with a teenager, I don't think my heart can take it. I feel so bad, like I'm going to cry now too.
it sounds like a typical tweener :)
i havent gotten there yet (i am so not looking forward to it!!)
It will pass......and it gets worse as he gets older.........
Sorry....hormones are a bitch, lol
I have had 5 teens go through it (they are adults now) and 1 going through it now. Does it help to know boys are better than girls???
Quoting funny_girl3:Worse? I don't want to hear about worse! I hope he wakes up in the morning feeling better, I want my good little boy back.

Quoting funny_girl3:aww, I'm so sorry. It's awful to see a child in pain like that.
Quoting allabout11708:
Mine is four and got in trouble for playing at dinner time instead of eating. He asked his dad and I why everybody hated him. Broke our hearts. No idea why he would ask that :-(
I never wanted to go to any family get togethers because they all treated me differently and were mean to me..(I'm biracial and just not dark enough for them to accept) My Dad never understood but my Mom (who dealt with it too) did.. She let me stay home.
I'm glad my mom didn't force me to attend when she knew I would be miserable and upset the whole time... Maybe there's another reason why he didn't want to go??
Is it just me, or... ?
