    scaring you was not my intention.
    As a general rule, he's a lovely, thoughtful delightful person. Actully he is very thoughtful, if he's thirsty and go's to get himself a drink he'll offer and make a drink for anyone who asks, Atm he is doing more than his fair share of housework while I'm sick he vacs, sweeps, loads and unloads the dishwasher (when asked but does grumble about the dishwasher) He puts on a load of washing on most days and hangs it out to dry without being asked. Since I've been sick he makes me breakfast everymorning (with a grumble but I do wake in the middle of his favourite show) For a 13 year old he is quite mature.
    It's just that on occation his hormones seam to take hold of him and next thing he's gone and this creature stands before me.

    Steve Biddulph has a wonderful book called "Raising Boys" I have a copy and it has helped me out so much. My oldest DS is 12 and omg he has some terrible days with moods. This book has explained some of it. Give it a read and see if it can help for you hun. I have been through this with a DD that started at 13 grrrrrr and it hasn't stopped yet
