No time management skills what so ever.
I am trying so hard not to nag, I'm going to get an ulcer. Every bloody day, DS2 (14) comes home and faffs around with his phone, kicking the football around the garden, winding up the other DC, eating me out of blimmin home and home... and then at 9:00pm (shower and general wind down time, in bed at 9:30 for lights out at 10pm) starts shouting and banging about the house, saying he's got homework to do, yadaya. Course this is my fault. Then the next day he's exhausted and a right cross patch from sun up to sun down. Then lather, rinse, repeat, that same night.
I had a call from his head of year last week, saying that DS had been grumpy and tired in school, resulting in general lack of attention in class, and cheek towards teachers.
I've had it. I told him over the weekend, that the router would go off at 9pm and all electronics would be handed in. If homework isn't done, he can suffer the consequences.
He's just come to yell about how unfair I am (currently night time where we are), and has banged off to his room. Apparently it's my fault he's now going to get in trouble at school and the 3 hours he spent mucking around this afternoon are irrelevant to his situation
jesus, what a rant. Does anyone a manual for teenagers?
