my son is 14 and has his moody moments where he only mumbles or grunts at you, sometimes shouts but mostly i can just tell him off or hes grounded from footy and it works , he knows i wont stick to grounding him, he also mostly comes up to me and hugs or kisses me, however today he popped into my work place to collect something and was with friends , i jokingly asked where my kiss was as he left, he just looked back and smiled, in his gruff voice 'your not getting one', thats his im trying to be tough voice

I must have been very lucky - my son was never really one of these grotty teenagers- we had disagreements - but so does everyone. He is 25 now and I have the greatest of respect for him - he is a wonderful man and a terrific father - we are thousands of miles apart but that is nothing - we are still as close and always will be. He is a member of the site, so David - if you read this - UG.

HI Buttercup, I had that thrice fold, God i was glad when they grew into men. Now i have three very loving sons who make me proud.Wendy

BC you never told me you had a son, best keep him away from here, he may get eaten alive!!!!

Buttercup your tale really struck a chord,my son went through the terrible teens and sometimes he really seemed to hate me then 10 mins later would act as if nothing had happened,his dad wasnt around so i got the full works! Now he is 24 just got his first flat with his girlfriend and is a real charmer,you always love them but its great to get past the teens!!:))))

Mine is still a plague and he is 18yrs old and I have 2 more still to go through it and the 2 oldest are hyperactive

Mine is six and has multiple personalities. Do you think if it starts early it finishes early? Abigail

Oh Stephen. I am really sorry. But, like we say, it really does work out in the end. Its all those raging hormones! xx

Ciao Daisy! How was Rome. Well, they say all men are the same, so that must apply to our sons too! xx BC

Christine. I really feel for you. I really went through the wars with my only son (I brought him up on my own which did'nt help) but now....well blissful is not too strong a word to describe our relationship. Now maybe I can get on with my life!! lol

My friend and I used to call our teenage sons The Aliens!! lol

my son has just entered the nasty stage

Once upon a time there was this angelic, flaxenhaired boy. He really loved his Mum. Then, very quickly, he changed into a spotty, surly teenager. He HATED his Mum! He was always in trouble, always courting danger. His poor Mum lay awake each night wondering what went wrong. Then, just a few weeks ago, his Mum looked at this man (her son) and as if by magic, he had turned into a loving, kind, funny, sweet-natured human being. He had grown up. And now he really REALLY loves his Mum and he even likes her! He has also met a wonderful girl, which might have a lot to do with it!
