Tonight Middle Boy decided it was time for him to offer "feedback" to me on my parenting.
It wasn't really feedback. It was more of a litany of everything that he hates that I do. It is nearly everything a parent would do. What he thinks I should be is a friend.
He spent a good deal of time telling me that when I tell him to do something or not do something I am making assumptions. I am assuming he is trying to disrespectful and trying to be rude. That isn't how he means it when he says that he hates me or when he says that I am really p****** him off.
Allegedly I will never trust him. This is because I won't let him go and stay at a girl's house all day Monday when they don't have school I told him there are a ton of reasons that can't happen. I don't know her. I don't know her parents. He is too young for that. Her parents won't be there. No one there has had the required background check for foster care. I explained that even if he was adopted it would be a no go. That pushed him over the edge. I obviously want him gone. I am just purposely trying to pick a fight so that he will get mad and I can call 911.
As it stands right now I am "not to talk to him until I can learn to respect and trust him".
Prayers for his typical teenage behavior with a little bit of RAD thrown in for good measure.
