As long as the answer is yes everything is beautiful - the minute I say no all hell breaks loose. difficult child went to a funeral yesterday for the father of a friend at school. Afterwards they (difficult child & girlfriend) went to friends house. I called and girlfriend got on the phone, told her I would pick them up at 7 - she said 7? in a huffy kind of way, then she put difficult child on the phone. He ask if they could stay till 8, told him to ask friends mom if that was okay she said yes.
Go to pick him up and he didn't want to leave. I told him we had to go. girlfriend immediately got on the phone with her parents asking them to pick her up later. difficult child got in my truck slammed the door - at this point I was aggravated. I told him he could at least thank me for letting him go over there and coming to pick him up. I can't even remember what he said next but as I was pulling away from the house in a long gravel driveway he jumps out of the moving vehicle. Thank God I wasn't going very fast. I was furious at this point. Here we are at a home of someone who just lost a loved one and he acts like this?? Thank goodness they were all inside.
He starts in on the "I'm just an ungrateful little punk, nobody likes me, I'm just going to kill myself. I am past aggravation at this point - I replied you know what go ahead, what are you trying to do scare me into letting you have your way? There are rules and boundries at our home and regardless you will abide by them. The back and forth stuff continued until we got home. Told husband what was going on and he talked with him a little. After about 30 minutes I went into difficult child's room he was working out. He stopped and I ask him if he was going to hurt himself and he said no mom I can't do that to myself. He was all calm and apologetic.
He has been doing so well at school with his behavior and grades and I told him last night after he calmed down that it needs to carry over to when he is at home.
I try so hard to run him here and there and fork out money for youth events and skateboarding, and this is the treatment I get!!!
I know I am not the only one that goes through episodes like this but I am just tired. Needed to vent.
Thanks for listening
