Man, Lately every conversation I have with ds is ugly, his tone of voice is so aggitated...like I was asking him to carry bricks....in a minute, just a second....Geesh.... I just hate the tone....anyone else go through this..he is 10, 11 in August....is this normal?
and then he wants to cuddle at night? but no conversation.

Been there, done that, still doing it, lol. Even at 15, there's the tone of voice, attitude, quiet demeaner/no conversation, but hugs every now and again too. Last night we layed on his bed together watching the last episode of House, which was nice cause it's been a long time since he's let me lay on his bed with him, lol (sshhh, don't tell his friends.

I get that from ds once in a while and he just turned 9.Think it's an age/testing thing, but I still don't like it!! At least he's not rolling his eyes at me....yet.

I don't think it's just a "boy" thing... my oldest dd started acting like that when she was already 8 years old!

My dd is that way but my ds isn't. It's annoying and frustrating.

I was going to say it is much worse from the girls! Dd started early like Diane's LOL

It's the age. BTDT have the t-shirt with ds (still not finished wearing it) dd gives me that tone too.

dd#1 is starting to get past that phase thankfully. ds will get like that occasionally, but he is a pretty good spirited kid. Very soft hearted and wanting to help out. Likes to think he is the "MAN" of the house when dh is away.
One of my four year olds is starting in on it waaaayyy too early. Hope she gets it out of her system very quick.
I found with dd it was just best to ignore it. Just pretend I didn't even notice.

Yeah and when they're 15, 16, 17 you are a total idiot who couldn't possibly know as much as they do.

the key is to keep them really sick and then they don't have the strength to fight! LOL

That's my 16 year old right now! You can't correct anything he says in the slightest way with out him turning it around and accusing us of calling him stupid. He IS smarter than us though, ya know, because he can do harder math problems than we can and he knows more about the guitar than we do. LOL!!
I have noticed this tone in daycare kids as young as 7!
Wouldn't it be nice if every time we messed up our life we could press CTRL ALT DEL and start all over??
Idea Box Guru
Ok, this will sound bad, but I am so glad I am not alone.....Its so frustrating...
Its like he is torn about he feels about everything, everyone, and ARGH
