@mbraun Ah he’s love struck

Daughter is 15 and all her friends parents allow their boyfriends to come to their houses for sleepovers in the same room/ bed. I checked with other mum friends outside this particular group - also allow boyfriends to sleepover. Am I old fashioned or what - 15 seems a bit young to me to be...

@scottwilson You know a strange thing happened to me - I lost the ability to raise my voice/shout after getting covid. Life is so much better without shouting, much calmer. You approach stuff in different ways. Strip it back to the beginning - is your house a happy place? It is important that...

@metsuko I’m 46 and my mum still talks trivial stuff to me - but now I find it kinda cute 🥰

@scottwilson I’m no soft touch. But I think you both need to step back. You mention that you are willing to give him more control, which is a start. The rule can be that you’ll remind him once to do his homework and make time available for him to do it then back off entirely with no reminders...

@thecore1234 All sounds normal 16 yr old behaviour. He just needs a little shove to go out and do stuff. Even with good mates sometimes teens just can’t get it together to make arrangements. My daughter got a part time job and that was great for her self confidence and having sthg to do. I hope...

@csi40 Self harm pacts are there to ‘prove’ your toughness and how hard you are. Maybe try and get him into the gym or into boxing/ martial arts so ge can prove his strength in another way.

@giobob Oh heck. This sounds a terrible situation. It sounds like drastic measures are needed. Don’t let this continue. Sounds like he needs to go into rehab and have a complete reset.
