[quote=Anonymous]OP, same boat. Mine is 17 right now and the past year has been really tough. He isn't even bad-bad, he keeps his grades up, he doesn't get into trouble at school, no drugs/alcohol. But he's too often an obnoxious smug little sh*t with us. My DH and I both grew up in difficult situations with bitter nasty divorces, and parents with substance abuse and mental illness. It's doubly hard for us because our DS' life is golden in comparison. Yes there are the usual teen stresses, school, college applications, friends, hormones, etc., that we recognize. But he's never come home from school to a parent passed out by 4pm, or the power being shut off for days because it hasn't been paid. I keep going by telling myself that one day he'll turn around and will if not appreciate his parents, at least not be such a snot. [/quote]
