We officially have two teenagers now. Coco is in full fledged hormonal, teen angst mode. I am ready to add an addition on to the bee hive for him. Then, like Caz, throw in some food, wall him up, and wait until he is an adult to break him out.
Coco has been unbearable. Some of my feeling is shock. We definitely took for granted that he was very reliable and very trust worthy. In reality, he is probably still on the good side of the curve for teenage behavior. But in aggregate, it is getting hard around here. He is forgetting things. He doesn't pay attention when we are talking. It all leads to fighting. They he has a meltdown. Like Chernobyl. Tantrum extraordinaire.
Now that this rite of passage - teenagers & their parents - is impacting all four of us, the family dynamic has changed. I am sure it is normal. But it is tough. We are still adjusting. At least is it with very little school left. Like Caz, the root problem centers around electronics. XBOX is actually the least of it. There is a new PC game. The iPod Touch is problematic It is a big snowball effect. I hope I have enough patience......
