[QUOTE="KFld, post: 29287, member: 2442"] Mike, as far as your son not really being involved with the family, that is also an age thing that I think is worse in males then females. My difficult child wouldn't be caught dead at the mall with me around that age, for fear his friends would see him with his mother. He has gotten past that now, but he'll be 20 next week. We couldn't get him to go out and do family things with us for years, especially go out to dinner together, we had to force him if it was something really important. My easy child daughter on the other hand will go anywhere with me. I think it's hard sometimes when they are heading down a path that you don't want them to, to determine what is normal teenage behavior and what is unacceptable. I guess that is where choosing your battles really becomes important and you have to learn not to let everything drive you up the wall. [/QUOTE]
