[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 3 boys. The most fraught time between them and their dad was always between the ages of 16-18. This seems to be when dad of boy anxiety comes out the most even if they were oblivious to the boys before this. [/quote] I only have girls so this is really interesting. And totally relevant to OP's situation. It sounds like a common thing, I wonder what the psychology behind it is?[/quote] Dp. It is absolutely developmentally appropriate for dc to separate from their parents and try to differentiate themselves at this age, even in ways that might seem dysfunctional, and awful. It’s called soiling the nest. There is no reason to pathologize it or to pathologize a parent privately expressing a momentary expression about it. Dh should be reminded that this is a normal stage.
