[QUOTE="Lil, post: 693499, member: 17309"] Wow. I don't usually come over here to General Parenting, but OMG you are all talking about my son! When he gets in his "moods" he rants and rants and won't STOP. If you are there in person, and try to walk away, he follows you! I've told him, it's like when he was 3 and having a tantrum, you couldn't hold him to calm him down, he'd push you away, but if you tried to walk away he'd grab you and hold on! It's exhausting. He'll call me on the phone and rant forever! (Yes, I know I should hang up - there's a long story there, I have a thing about the phone.) I actually screamed at him the other day, "What do you want me to do!!!" There's nothing I can say that can change anything. I can't fix whatever he's ranting about and he knows it. I told him (when he was calm) that it's like he only calls to make me as miserable as he is! He says that he just wants someone to listen...but that's not true. It's the WORST thing about my son really. I know Jabber hates it, because I still buy him cigarettes or give him what he wants sometimes - but I just want him happy because when he's happy I don't have to deal with this - I want PEACE.
