Anyone else have a whiny teen!? Omg he's almost 17 and a drama king. Every little bug he catches he acts like he's dying. Thursday last week he had a stomach bug. Friday was a snow day as was monday. Tuesday he had a delay. Now today he's caught his brothers cold (which his brother is 14 truly doesn't feel good bu wanted to go to school) and now older one is texting me to please come get him...no way kiddo. You aren't throwing up and no fever. You cannot keep missing school and I cannot keep missing work!? Then lays on the guilt. Anyone else have a drama king! ? Oiy....

oh yeah. I've said for years my boys were more dramatic than my girls. Everything is just the worst with my 14 year old. How dare we go shopping when he's along? It will be boooooooorrrinnnnnng. He over reacts to everything. It's getting really, really old.

My youngest is the most happy-go-lucky, good-natured, easy going kid...right up until he isn't. And when he isn't, he can sulk and pout in a way that would make a three year old that just had his lollipop stolen jealous.
If it weren't so damn annoying it would be funny.

I have heard that teen boys are more dramatic and harder than teen girls. I have teen girls and although one of them is lazy (when it comes to chores at home) and they are slobs, they are very easy otherwise. No attitude, no drama, no moodiness, etc. It's funny that you mention this! My daughter had 4 friends over the other day. The 4 girls all have teen and younger brothers. They were talking about how their brothers and their brothers friends are so dramatic and get into arguments over the littlest things and that they are so moody!  |

It's definitely my teen girl who is dramatic. She's socially way behind her peers so she can have tantrums like a young child. anxiousmom described my teen son to a T! Have you taken off work because you have to take him to the doctor or stay home with him? I wouldn't stay home with my 17 year old. I'm also one of those mean moms who has their kids clean up their own puke in the bathroom once they get older.  |

I left work early Thursday to take him to the dr, an appt already scheduled for something else. I don't stay home when they are sick (I took a sick day myself friday and also had a snow day monday) I normally don't stay home when my 14 yo is sick either, unless really sick... |

We have a 10 year old who is so whiny I'd like to strangle him. I keep saying if he's this whiny now one of us isn't going to survive his teenage years. I'm really hoping he gets it out of his system early and is a wonderful teenager. Yes I know that isn't going to happen but this small glimmer of hope is the only thing that gets me thru the day with this child sometimes. I really love him but some days I just can't stand him.

Yep. And it's a whole lot of no fun when dh joins in! I spent time and who knows how much $$ yesterday taking my 17 yr old to a gastroenterologist. Only to hear exactly what I've said to the two of them (dh and son): You eat too much crap. Stop eating crap. The only reason I broke down and finally took him was because he (son) complained to his pediatrician at his physical last month.
Despite having healthy, good foods in the house and avoiding keeping most bad stuff outside the house, this kid still eats crap 90% of the time. And if there isn't crap to eat, he simply won't eat. Which then gives him stomachaches and headaches. And then dh starts giving me the "but he has to eat something!" guilt trips. At 17, I'm over being responsible for making sure he eats a good diet. It would seem that I am going to have to deny myself any "fun" foods in order to keep the house completely crap free so son will be forced to eat better.
We won't mention that he often comes home from school with a "really bad headeache". Much of which is caused by him not wearing his glasses to school.

I'm also one of those mean moms who has their kids clean up their own puke in the bathroom once they get older. I found that the threat of me staying home and smothering them with mama love was the thing that separated the truly not feeling well and the 'I am just a cranky pants with complaints of vague stomach ailments to mask the fact that I just don't want to go to school and would rather stay home and play call of duty all day.' I tell them in great detail how I am going to be the biggest helicopter mom on the planet and boom, suddenly people start feeling all amazing and ready to roll.  |

Can I trade you your dramatic 17yo for my Anger filled temper flaring DS17?
Honestly, Im just waiting for him to turn human again and to show just a small amount of gratitude for the things that I do for him
