About 10 years I fear apart from when your wallet is outI have a 14yr old, when will I have my son back?☹
I tried to remember that I was one once!I’ve two boys and two girls, believe me the girls are much worse
too big, it did cross my mind,,Too old to send up chimneys and get some cash in?
Thank you!!!Yeah...another vote for 18/19 years old. When my youngest lad was 13 to 15 I came to the conclusion that my youngest and I would probably be estranged for the rest of my life. Saved his worst behaviour for home, caused big problems between my wife and I regarding parental decisions, came close to physically fighting with him (although he was already bigger and stronger ☹). He appeared to hate everything about me. Still can't believe how rude and disrespectful he was.
5 years later I actually now have more conversation with him than his older 2 siblings. There is light at the end of the tunnel, Limechase
My main advice would be to try to ignore him when he's being obnoxious, however difficult...
My two lads never put a foot wrong. My daughter on the other hand - was a nightmare the minute she discovered make-up and lads. She still holds the record for detentions in a year at St. Mary’s. Got pregnant at 16, and as a single dad bringing them up alone for the previous few years, thought it was the end of the world. Turned out it was the best thing that ever happened - kicked partying into touch, realised a lot of her ‘mates’ were arseholes and became the best mum and person you could wish to meet.About 18/19 if my experience with daughters is anything to go by!
I had similar Johnno. Well done you on the single parenting and doing such a great job It’s hard bloody work on every level.My two lads never put a foot wrong.

He’ll come back to you, but I know what you’re going through. Stick to doing the right thing and he’ll come round.
Too true, thanks. You too.I had similar Johnno. Well done you on the single parenting and doing such a great job It’s hard bloody work on every level.
