I dunno, it's weird. The whole growing up thing is strange and I am constantly having to reevaluate and adjust my relationship to him as he goes through these changes and becomes basically different people.
In these last few days though since he got his gf, he seems to have made a quantum leap into the i'm-serious-all-the-time, almost emoish, angsty behavior. Maybe he's just having a moody week, but it's seriously annoying :P Which means if it continues when he gets back from his mums this weekend, I'm going to have to sit down and have a talk with him about his behavior :(
Oy, one of those. Those suck, but they have to happen. We haven't hit emo land yet, and I hope we never do with little mr. sunshine, but you never know.
I wonder if it is harder for you as his dad than it is for me as a mom, since the kinds of relationships are different?
Teenagers are interesting, that's for sure. It's like watching a science experiment unfold before your eyes.
