In May this year DS14 decided not to go out with us any more on Sunday afternoons and since then we have an awful lot of anger from him.
We were fine with him staying home - growing up and all that...DS plays, reads and works on his projects when alone - no problem whatsoever.
But we cannot make sense of his anger. Twice we said you need to come with us again but he was even more angry and ruined the whole trip, so we dropped that idea in a hurry.
Then we figured out together that the anger is to do with the fear of all that empty time at the weekend and since then DS makes a plan with what he wants to do, which he says helps him a lot.
DS seems to have good friends at school but does not meet them outside school apart from very rare occasions like a fun fair. We live in a very rural area and lots of children seem not to meet up here.
The anger is sparked by the tiniest conflicts or nothing at all and usually ruins half of the weekend. During the week we have the best of times.
Anybody can help with that?
