Or HAD a difficult teenager.

Is it normal to regret ever having the kid? I do love him. But god help me, he is the best birth control ever. He is karma x 1,000,000. If I had known it would be like this, I wouldnlt have had any kids at all to avoid it.

It sounds awful, I know. But while I love him, I don't like him at all. He makes me want to rip my hair out and jump in front of a semi truck. He is a god forsaken asshole. His father isn't as big an asshole as he is.

I just don't know what to say or do right now.

And save your tsk tsks if you have a baby or little kid cuz it wont mean shit to me.

This is why I'm dreading the teenage years.

I heard the teenage years are worst the terrible two's.

Good luck.

My older one is a dream! He hardly ever shows his ass! I don't want to send him away but I might have to, I can't change him, he wont do anything I say. I feel im doing him a disservice w him here. He's becoming a loser.

My mom and I are having a terrible time with my 14 Year Old niece. She makes my mom cry about once a week. Since turning 12 she had just been awful. Screaming,cussing breaking stuff, failing school ,got a tattoo, snuck a boy over and so so much more. My mom says she wishes my sister never had my niece. She loves My niece but doesn't like her.

i was a difficult teenager. sent to juvie and eventually fostercare. changed my life for the better... granted, by the tme i went into fostercare, i was about 3 months pregnant. lol so DS also helped in regards of that.

hopefully once he gets over this phase, he'll grow into an amazing man and you'll be proud of him and what he accomplishes..... and of yourself, for not being admitted into the mental hospitals. lol

I have a baby, but i had 2 stepkids(14&16) they were definitely birth control. I loved them, but i hated coming home at night. Your not alone, good luck

I have my days with DD. I love her, but some days with all the arguing, not listening, and just plain bullshit, I want to send her somewhere to get her straightened out. The age is a huge factor.

((hugs)) my oldest dd was a lot like your son. i lived in hell with her for many years and even though I loved her more than life I didnt usually like her very much. we somehow lived through it and when she was 17 she changed all of a sudden and became a normal kid. dont give up hope.

 try tough love. take away all of his privledges! cell phone, video games, computer etc. tell him that until he is respectful he doesnt get privledges! and dont do his laundry either, he is capable! dont do a dang thing for him except feed him and provide him with a roof over his head. call his school counsoler and have the counselor call him in and see if they can get anything out of him? is he just testing the limits or is there some underlying thing going on?

overall my son was a good kid, but went through about a year of awful behavior! once he shoved me and i called the cops on him! there was no way in hell i was going to let him think that violence would be tolerated! he never did it again either!
