haha...i came here to post something about Aden and saw the above post.
Dazza and I had the biggest fight we've ever had on Sunday night (about 6 hours after this post). There was yelling and threats and all sorts of stuff. Very dramatic. Since then he's been getting up early and sneaking off to work and coming home late. We haven't spoken. He's still pissing me off. lol
The issue with Aden is me talking to him this morning about a maths assignment he has due tomorrow. it got a bit heated and ended with him telling me it's my fault he doesn't study well because I should have made him study more when he was younger so he'd have better study habits now.
I pointed out that if he knows he has bad habits, then only he can change them, and since he thinks he's an adult now, then it's on him not me, so grow up and don't blame me for the fact that he'd rather play xbox.
I sent him a text that said, "I love you son. Any choices or decisions I have ever made for you have come from that. I am very sorry if you feel I have failed you. I will do better. xxx"
I am now considering confiscating his xbox and other toys and being the strict parent that he seems to think I should have been.
What do you think?
