Free to good home.. You'll have to do better than that. I've offered to pay someone to take ours...no takers. :cool: He'd pull stunts like that and then look at us like we were insane for being upset. His favorite question was, "What's your problem?" Grr He's 21 now and finally starting to behave. ;) His three younger siblings combined are less trouble! |
haha come on ..gotta love your kids!! |
your story is soo funny! but at the same time it scares the hell out of me! I have a 11 year old boy and it makes me think what I have to look forward too in the near future! |
I do not look forward to my two boys getting older! I grew up with two older brothers. When they were teenagers, I never got any sleep, with all the fighting and yelling going on in the middle of the night between my parents and brothers. I'm not saying that I didn't pull my own crap but I was a LOT smarter about it. They did some of the stupidest things! |

Be a good listener and always be ready to understand when they screw up - teach them to learn from it and you can't go wrong - Just by me being able to listen no matter how bad it is has always kept us close. When the parent freaks out - they push away - I always tried to be ready to hear anything and not jump down their throats - I have one VERY responsible son - and one WILD child - so it's all in the personality/make up of the child that will dictate how they will be in situations - I miss the babies my boys were but LOVE the young men they are now....It's all worth it ! |
Gee everything you mentioned to me sounds pretty normal, we had 5 boys and sorry to say they all had the own quirks,yet somehow managed to grow up to be upstanding men, don't give up this soon, it will all come out ok,all you have to do is pretend you really dont know who dropped that kid off at your house,gotta be a differant one than you raised...sorry, but still sounds real normal for now and today...good luck,just open your eyes real big,with the look of shock and say" who are yu" |
Sons are wonderful. I'm very close to all of them and my older 2 (30 & 28) are very responsible. My 18 year old is my wild child but hopefully he will mature and become responsible if we can just get him over this hump. He's working but doesn't really take anything serious. His older brothers were work-a-holics and already had bought brand new cars by the time they were his age and my middle son had already enlisted in the Army by that age. Theres still hope :-) |
Been there, done that My son went through the 900 number bit. You know how they seal your telephone bill envelope through a machine, well I received one bill that was hand scotch taped, cause it was so big and thick they could not put it through the machine. 27 pages long it was and it was $1679 for ONE MONTH! Needless to say, the telephone went to work with me in the trunk of my car and I left change home so that they could use the phone down by the pool. I lived in the high desert at the time and I figured that would teach him, standing at the pay phone in either 118 degree weather or -1 weather. Almost 37 years old now and has no more sense than he did at 18, but at least he is not in MY HOUSE any longer. LOL |

OMG! This is so funny! I would think your son would have not done it to avoid the embarrassment of his mom seeing the bill! The least he could have done was have some friends over and charge admission. At least you know he had a good time while you were away! I'm with Villette, you should tell him that if he's going to be viewing those movies to at least have the decency to find the free stuff on the internet! |
:lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears :lol tears I'm sorry, I just had to laugh at the titles of those movies! |
Eesssh!!!! we would of gotten a beating....lol, I thought my brother was spoiled..20 still lives at hoome, has college paid for (private), has a car my mom bought, and only recently started paying hia OWN insurance.....My mom finally woke up and made him get a job, go to school, and start paying his own cell and cable bill....lol, he is still like THOUSANDS of dollars in debt to her from when he wasn;t working (like a year and a half)...lol, but he has never ordered Pron or 900 numbers only because he would be soooo embarassed and my mom would still beat his a**....and no girls allowed to sleep over...lol, he is allowed to have them in his room...(a privelage I never had)...but thats about it |
