I have a 16 year old son, who frequently talks to me sarcastically, nd I heard from his father, that my son thinks little of me..makes me really sad and hurtful, im a stay home mom. I still washed my sons clothes, cook for him. I make sure he goes to School and I allow him to go out with friends, he has privileges of a phone,I'm very demanding on his chores and his responsibilities, he thinks I am too much and never happy with the little he does. I just want him to have initiative on his own things and to take responsibility with out me telling him or reminding him all the time..he wont do his bed, take care of dog needs, his clothes, etc. ,,unless I tell him to do it soo ,when I do tell him he getsbothered, talks back, nd worst of all in a sarcastic tone..I'm to the point that I feel frustrated, I have 4 other kids, nd at some point I feel unappreciated, I do to much for them. nd when I demand chores or responsibilities I get backstabbed or if I the bad mother..its saddens me!
