Just a vent really 

Since we took ss 12 long haul a few months ago he has suddenly morphed into full on teenager. Skipped all his contacts (scheduled nights and weekend stays) bar 2.

He did turn up Tues night,  but had a face like thunder n scowled at Me when I asked how his day was 

This was after dh read him the riot act Sunday ( when myself and dd were away mind you ) for having some more important thing to do with friends , typically on dh time.

I actually raided the Courage to say to a friend , if this is how is going to be from now on I wish he'd just do one,  for good! Dh and bd get so upset when he doesn't show, and I get miffed at personally paying for him to only show up if there's a holiday in it for him,  it seems 

How did you navigate the teenage years with a spoilt selfish brat already ?
