[QUOTE="Jabberwockey, post: 678224, member: 18238"] Our son does this as well. I was on the way back from goodwill having picked up some dishes for him for his apartment. He was ranting at me because we wouldn't give his loser friend a ride across town so he could spend the night with our son. I was basically ignoring him. His phone rang and the switch flipped. "Hey Dude! Whats up?" blah blah blah. He had a pleasant and reasonable conversation with the person, hung up, and went RIGHT back to ranting at me. For some reason, our Difficult Child's feel like its ok to behave like this in front of us because its us. I don't allow it any more and my son knows it. My advice? First off, keep your responses simple. He shows you a stupid video that he KNOWS you wont like, simply say "That's nice.". If he starts to rant, pull over and kick his ass out of the car and make him walk the rest of the way to work. If the child is still in the car, take them to the babysitter and go to work. My son, for some idiotic reason, wanted to talk to me all the time about the legalization of marijuana. This is a subject that he knows I could give a damn less about. I personally don't see the reason to legalize it for other than medicinal purposes but wont get upset if it happens. I think that basically, he is trying to justify his lifestyle to me and maybe that's what yours is trying to do with you when he shows video's of out of control kids. Kind of a "Look Mom! Im not the only one so its ok!" kind of thing. [/QUOTE]
