Never a Dull Moment – Teen Boys & Their Obnoxious Behavior
It seems as though the year 2008 has somehow ushered in complete obnoxious, ultra selfish, teenage boys and swapped them out for my boys. Boys who used to be well behaved, kind, considerate and knew not to cross their mother or risk being knocked into their mid 30’s.
I honestly can’t believe what a change this whole puberty shit is causing. Puberty isn’t about coming of age, it’s about going through a period of time where the ability to carry out a normal thought process and behavior completely escapes it’s victim.
What exactly is it about becoming a teenager that makes hitting other boys in the groin or twisting another girls tit seem like such a bright idea?
My boys haven’t attempted any purple nurples or titty twisters on any girls, at least not that I’m aware of. If they do and I find out, I. Will. Break. Their. Ever. Loving. Fingers.
While attempting to do this “work at home” thing earlier today, I heard a ginormous scream of agony from the front room. When I walked into the room, one kid was on the floor while the other was sitting on the couch laughing. I screamed in my best drill sergeant voice asking what had happened.
I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard “son A bagged son B.” And it was son A that was sitting on the couch laughing.
This came right on the heels of my having jumped on a different combination earlier in the week for the exact same crime.
Now, considering that I am a mother who believes in creative punishments to fit the bill, I have threatened them in NO uncertain terms that IF this happens again, I will make the offender stand in the front yard holding a sign that says “I can’t keep my hands off my brothers penis.”
Aside from that, I’m not exactly sure what a suitable punishment would be. I’m completely open to suggestions here – anyone have any ideas?
Care to help me devise a punishment for the next time one son is caught hitting the other in the groin? I’m sure it’s going to happen again and I’m hoping to be prepared.
Sorry, Gayla…when I stop laughing maybe I can think of something…
Maybe they could go and do some volunteer work collecting semen at a local dairy farm?
Now THERE’S a fun job.
Thanks for the laugh!! All I can say is that it does get better in a few years. I wanted to pay someone to take my son when he was that age! Now he is 18 and is the nicest person that I know! How in the hell that happened I will never know because he was the devil himself from 13-17. There is hope!!!
WOW – I am feeling the exact same way about my almost 15 year old brat. I swear a year ago he was a totally different kid. I just want to give him back now. The talking back, not caring about being punished and the sarcasm are driving me nuts. I have tried the calm tone, the no tone, the yelling, everything I can think of and it all feels hopeless. Being a single mom sucks!
