would not listen to anyone even from his parents, relatives and friends. has a mind of his own and firmly stands by his own beliefs. even people on the know has already tried to deal with him but to no avail. everyone just worries that with his attitude he'll have something to regret on along the way.

many times I help human beings staying with their moms and dads, yet yours are somewhat out of control. I got here from an overprotective mom, even if it stopped when I graduated h.s. when I move and it doesn't exercising consultation, i pass back there because it really is unlike that, i'm 27 btw. i don't think of you could do a lot without making it hard on your self. 9 is truthfully no longer previous due. My mom nonetheless is going out later than that (in reality more beneficial typically and later than I do). merely assert administration over your man or woman life and judgements. per chance prepare them why and what's precise for you just about like you'll practice a record for college or making a business enterprise proposition. I also take it you at the prompt are not a concepts adequate mutually along with your bf to move in with him. My condolences.

ohh that is a horrible age, from about the age of 14 to 18/19 you can not tell kids anything, they know it all, takes a few years after that for them to realise that maybe their parents do have some idea, being stuborn I think is just another way that children try to accept being adults, still along way to go, but they are nearly all like this

He is tring to establish independence the hard way. You need to allow this independence, it's called the school of hard knocks or tough love. Let him get a job, even if he is in college, move out, get an apt. and let him prove to whoever that he knows everthing. Evenually he will need to move out anyway, if his parents will allow him to grow up and establish responsibility as a man.

He's 18 - thats how they ALL feel.
"He has a mind of his own"? - Oh no...that's NOT allowed...
"Stands by his beliefs" ? - that's rare these days...
"He'll have something to regret"? - if he doesnt make mistakes, how will he ever learn anything?
My advice....leave him alone and be there when he needs you and asks for help.

Boy, been there done that. I have to have tough love with my son. No matter sometimes they have to get hurt, fall flat on their face and see the errors of their ways before anything can be done. They are an "adult" at least they think, and no much you can do, but love them regardless and I am sure you do. Pray for them. At that age, they know it all and NOBODY can change that. Good luck.

D amnit! I was 18...Force him to sit once a week and especially when there's a problem or question. Ask him, Tell him to sit and talk with you. Do this. Soon, he will be following your lead on what's important. Why? Because every teenager needs to sit and talk with someone as often as possible. Had i been talked with....40 years and my life is just beginning.

I work with kids this age and believe it or not I once was this age. I often remind my colleagues that they shouldnt be surprised cos everyone thinks that they know everything at that age. I was terrible for it when I was 16, but as I say, I didnt know it then and still dont know everything now!! I bet you thought that you knew it all as well. Its part of growing up - infuriating I know but totally natural...

unfortuantely he doesn't sound like he is very appreciative of what people have done for him. as painful as this will sound you guys have to let him find out for himself the hard way he'll find his attitude is not going to get him very far in the real world but he has to learn and grow up!!! be there to support him emotionally but don't coddle him. it will take awhile be he will appreciate what you did for him in the long run hang in there!!!
