We were all teenagers once.

We stayed in room to *** all day.

It's normal.

I'll reply to you my experience in 12 years time...

I’m talking about mine ..probably apply more to boys than girls
Ever since entered puberty, always one word answer, very little appreciation or joy for anything…hardly comes out of room… default mode is disinterest and disrespect.
Years of this can really wear one down. I am beginning to understand why Angmohs like their kids to move out after turning 18.
Does it ever get better?

it's normal. they yearn for recognition & respect as adults whom they're ascending to, which they often get from their peers, probably why they choose to distance themselves & close to their friends in order to feel accepted for what they feel & think

I hv not much issues with my teenage kids, probably we hv been communicating with them like how adults do since they started to learn talking... listen first, take mental notes & show interest & respect whenever they voice out. we don't talk as much as before, but at least they'll come to share with my bride & I a bit of their inner thoughts. oh, they love to be in teaching position, updating us boomers on recent trends

maybe start asking your kids to help you understand some of the current events & seek their own opinions. always listen first & take note, don't belittle them. maybe you yourself will learn something new from them

My 2 teenage boys are also like that. Plays computer games with friends (older boy) and on his own (younger boy) and doesn't like to be disturbed.

Very difficult to talk to them. Always ask me to go away. Only when need something then will talk to me.

Younger 14 year old still let me kiss and hug him daily though. Relishing that. Older 18 year old will never let me do that.

I feel like he’s got a good head on his shoulders and can take care of himself well… never does anything dangerous, takes care of his own studies, the disrespect is also minor.. but I miss the closeness we used to have and also how I could hug and kiss him any time.. and it’s sad that it’s never coming back

I dread the day this happens to me. Right now, my boy is so attached to me at 2 years old. So cute.

Guess have to slowly learn to let go...

Upbringing issue

 

[rider83]

wont say super present but loved his childhood and we did lots of things together. He was the opposite of today.. very sunny happy boy always calling me to look at things and do things together… after puberty like different person

NS is coming… it is like that. Try to be understanding

Your boy has to grow up and find his own identity. Not remain as the little boy who needs your affirmation for every thing he did. If he's still like that, you should worry.
