[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here, and I thank you all for calming me down.

I can't imagine that we really would have done this - I was just frustrated today after a long week.

Here's the thing: None of these DC kids - mine, yours and everyone else's - has any idea how good they have it, on so many levels. We are talking about going to a World Series baseball game, your hometown team that you've been a fan of your whole life, where they might win it all. Most baseball fans wait their whole life for that and never see it. And we're talking about a 16 year old, whose only job/ responsibility in life is to go to school, do some things around the house, and basically grow into a good son, brother and friend. Is that asking so much?

I just get tired of entitled attitudes, even if it doesn't rise to serious behavior problems. DH and I have worked very hard to get to where we are to be able to provide things like this.[/quote]

You sounds like you're trying really hard, OP, and your son is being incredibly trying. After the game, in a quiet space, do you think you could say this to your son? Do you think he could hear you?

And also, I don't know if 16 was magical for you or something, but being 16 was not easy for me. Not even close to easy. Being a teenager isn't a cakewalk, even if we look back on aspects of it fondly and maybe even longingly. (I wish I could sleep in like my 16 year old can sleep in! How does she manage to sleep until noon?) [/quote]
