teens and parents of teens?

usually when my mom mentions something like this i think she's gay. also i kinda like to do the opposite of what people say so, if you say something like"ooo im soo proud of the responsible man you're becoming" i'd probably would drop the responsible crap. i don't think you should say anything to him. this is just the way he is now. its no big deal. he doesn't need praise or attention, he just probably thinks its expected of him. One day do something really random, that's not expected, like take him out for ice-cream, and he'll probably get the message.

Sounds to me like your boy is growing up. It's a nice feeling isn't it?

Why not buy him something he's wanted for a while (like a game or something like that) and tell him you're proud of him. Even if he acts embarrassed, chances are he'll appreciate the compliment.

well that's great for you! maybe you could buy him something or take him to a theme park to show him you are happy and proud of him. im sure you telling him wont embarrass him. just say "wow you have been really adult about things lately, you are acting like a man instead of a teen" being called a man always makes guys feel great in their teens.

i grow to be 15 when I had my infant, Age does play a component because there's a huge adulthood aspect from being 15 or 17 compared to being 27. i think in case you've been extra up good then there aren't any questions with reference to the love you've for a baby at the same time as that is born no remember what your age is. If i might want to turn decrease back time sure i might want to have waited yet abortion grow to be by no potential an selection yet i grow to be blessed interior the actuality that i grow to be waiting to help myself financially because I got here into allot of money $three hundred,000.00 at the same time as i grow to be 15 from an automobile twist of destiny earlier to conceiving so as that helped highly and took allot of concerns off my shoulders and my father and mom. I had a in basic terms right help gadget and loving family contributors it truly is significant having a baby youthful. i do not imagine at any age you're prepared for the time-honored jobs a baby needs and also you study as you move.. you could make it and be positive and the youngster can enhance up and by no potential be effected via being so youthful once you had her believe me, my daughter is 10, immediately A student, I went to varsity, stay to inform the tale my personal and characteristic been because i grow to be 19, I do it on my own with the help of my family contributors and husband.. better of success to you and your infant and do not enable a number of those posts get to you, they dont understand you or your up bringing..

To be honest, as a teen the best way to say it, is to literally do just that, say it. But, say it as you would say it to another adult. Even if he shrug it off (which I bet he will) I can promise you he'll feel at least a bit of pride in realizing that you noticed.

Owww thats so cute.

I think that a gift will be a great way to show him your proud and give him a little note saying: "im so proud of you"

Really? Parents reward kids for good behavior and not acting like chickens without heads? Damn...my mom would reward me by NOT hitting me with the horse crop. Or it would be..."You get A-!!!!....you are a failure, you're not going to have a future, you won't be able to pay your mortgage!...you go read Greek Prose till you learn your lesson!"

And I am not kidding you.

You could reward him with a trip somewhere or something that he desires (video games, clothes...)

I think maybe you should let him go to the movies with his friends

get him a little gift or do something fun with him one afternoon
