Ok my son is suddenley 'different'. . .

[episodic]

He has in the last 2 weeks:

Started writing poetry.
Started wanting to call girls.
Started wanting to go and get his hair streaked.
Suddenley his cloths are not cool.
Suddenly started wanting "Axe Body Spray". . .


I think I'm in for a long ride. . .

He turns 13 next month.

 

[Quasmo]

Did he get a sex change? that's "different".

EDIT: puberty...

 

[akshatp]

Someone's got a crush on someone

Either that or he had a gay encounter and is now trying to "find himself"

 

[91TTZ]

He's emo now.

 

[madeupfacts]

if only his father was not such a dork

I heard that in my mind as a Vader NOOOOOOO!!!!

Sounds like a few years of fun ahead of ya. I only hope that my kids don't turn out that way, but given my luck, they'll probably be worse.

 

[Aimster]

he learned how to wack it and now he realizes what he has been missing out thus he wants to bang now so he needs new clothes and a new attitude.

yeah, he deffinitely sounds like hes hitting puberty and going in a very emo direction. Hopefully this will only be a "phase" or you may have to kill him in order to stop the spread of emoness. OK, maybe killing him is going to far, but If i had a son and they starting writting poetry that would scare the cr@p outa me.

 

[Trikat]

I wasn't even close to going all emo when I was that young...
Sounds like he is hanging out with the cool kids eh?

 

[Stunt]

Perfect age for him to get a job

Buy your own body spray and clothes b!tch.

 

[iamwiz82]

He may be writing poetry to get into girls' pants! If that is the case, give him some help.

 

[biggestmuff]

sounds normal. he's just trying to score some poon.

 

[thehstrybean]

I agree with iamwiz...he may, which means you, as the father, have to help...


Or he may be emo...which is weird...

 

[DainBramaged]

Beat the sh!t out of him. After that, you can address the others non-poetry issues.

I was with you up to the getting his hair streaked part...

 

[XZeroII]

You'd better whip him into shape fast. Tell him that you don't care if his clothes aren't cool. If he wants $150 pants, he can get a ****ing job. Make him work around the house or something so he earns the money that you give him.

 

[preslove]

Help your kid get some safe, responsible, underage poon. He's got 5 years of legally sanctioned jailbat ass available to him befre the magic clock turns 18 and he turns into a perv!

Already done. I have him blocked at the router. He wants to use a site - he's gotta ask. Then I whitelist it. . .

You're already seriously off on the wrong attitude if you want him to be open and honest with you.
