[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grandma needs to get told that if she keeps complaining about this, he'll switch to wanting to spend NO time with her at all.[/quote] That would not be helpful on any way whatsoever. [/quote] It might be if delivered gently. She was a mother to teens once too. Draw on your own experience, or that of a sibling, OP. Help your mom remember part of this is an age appropriate developmental task even though it sucks and hurts. (That said, it is developmentally appropriate for a teen to pull away from their family and lean in with friends, but that doesn't mean they should be given a universal hall pass and never expected to show up and spend time with their family. There is a balance.)[/quote]
