Maybe they're just a house cat. I'm a bit the same. I don't need to be around people all the time and I'm quite happy when alone at home just doing my thing.I asked and they said that they do go out . They dont think it's an issue to not go out for days on end. They've met with a friend this week.
Do you have one extreme or the other no middle ground? Like who is this gobby moody person/sweet as pie (I have my daughter/son back). They can switch in a word. Was I this bad as a teen?!Happy to hear it’s not just my teen who’s an arseholehe has amazing qualities too but I’m surprised I haven’t pulled my own hair out yet
Definitely Jekyll and Hyde, I keep thinking he’s turning a corner then he turns into Kevin againDo you have one extreme or the other no middle ground? Like who is this gobby moody person/sweet as pie (I have my daughter/son back). They can switch in a word. Was I this bad as a teen?!
Sadly, yes I think it is for many teenagers. Mine are addicted to their phones, drives me mental.My 13 year old is always in her room on her phone. I can entice her out with food or to bake. She'll come and watch a quiz show with me as she likes them. But apart from that she just wants to go in her room on her phone. I dont know what to do or is that normal?
so sorry to read your message. there is very little help out there. i also feel parents are often really shitty and judgemental. it can make opening up and trying to share the load with a friend/family member difficult.I have a 15 year old. Have had a lot of trouble with her violence and aggression, she can be quite narcissistic, manipulative, self centred and entitled. She very rarely goes to school, can be violent and aggressive to the point I've called the police out on her several times.
Good point and yes, I constantly check myself on how I communicate with them - TBH I find parenting teenagers is all about questioning yourself and your reactions/behaviours, especially with ND teens when it seems a constant judgement call. But my teens are sometimes arseholes because they are sometimes arseholes, simple as that.Do any of you examine your own behaviours and how you interact and speak to your teens? It might give insight into why SOME of you have teens that don't want to engage with you and seem to "ruin" holidays and be "arseholes".
Sorry to hear this. Just from what you’ve said and because I have an autistic daughter, it sounds like she may have autism. I hope you get support and help from CAMHS. Parenting ND kids is brutal at times.I have a 15 year old. Have had a lot of trouble with her violence and aggression, she can be quite narcissistic, manipulative, self centred and entitled. She very rarely goes to school, can be violent and aggressive to the point I've called the police out on her several times. Her younger sisters were put on child protection register due to the risk of domestic abuse from eldest daughter. She doesn't care, has very little empathy and will only apologise If she gets something in return or if its too benefit her. Waiting for camhs to hopefully give a diagnosis or medicate her tbh. She is very close to going in to care. She sleeps all day and awake all night, isolates herself in her room on her phone alot. Does have friends but struggles to maintain long last friendships. Just don't know what else to do with her
