[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP: I would be proud if he was a nurse.[/quote]

Good grief, set your sights for him higher.

Quit thinking about how to stomp on his self-esteem just because your ego is bruised.[/quote]

LOL omg, imagine if I said, no I would be upset if he was a nurse. People would bash me. I can't win.[/quote]

Then his grades are probably fine. He can go to a state school, get into a nursing program that is fine and become a nurse.

What is the issue? Does he gets all F's, or did he get a B in a class that he could have gotten an A.

[b]You have to realize that you are sending a message to your child that is making him angry and he is responding with ... drum roll please.. anger.[/b]

It is not okay that he is disrespectful, but you need to figure out how you are contributing to this.

There are tons of books on teens... how to talk so teens will listen, the 5 love languages of teens, etc.

You are pushing him away when you need to build an adult relationship with him. He is pulling away because he will be an adult soon and he needs to make his own decisions.

Her breathing or existing might be making him angry. It's impossible to quell the snark entirely but it's not acceptable to express every stupid mean thought that pops into a teens head. Limits are a part of good parenting. It's time for me critical to get a clue. No ones doing him any favors by allowing him to treat his mom like crap.[/quote]
