Dear Care and Feeding: I'm so sick of my wife's condescending remarks about the way I choose to take care of our kids.
I have a 17-year-old son who’s a decent-to-good student and holds a part time job. Lately he’s been asking for more privileges like keeping his electronics in his room overnight. I’m not a fan but my ex had let him for some time and the wi-fi shuts off overnight so no biggie. We discussed doing so responsibly, and I agreed.The problem is how Tim treats me. He’s pretty disdainful/disrespectful .
But given that you have both gone through a divorce, I wonder if your son’s acting out is masking some deeper emotions he needs help processing. Next time he lashes out at you, try finding out what’s behind it. Say something like, “I hear you sounding very upset. Is there something else going on that is making you feel angry or frustrated?” He may be harboring feelings related to you or the situation that are coming out sideways.
I loved parenting babies and toddlers. I miss it. I loathe parenting right now. There is no upside. People tell me travel is easy with this age, but that’s…two weeks a year if we’re lucky. The rest of the time it’s begging for screen time or fighting about bedtime.But no one wants to hear this. That’s fine, I get it, but how do I get people to stop telling me how I’m in “the easy part”?
