Re: Calling all moms of pre-teen boys!!! Help me??
Hey Andee. I've a thirteen and a nearly 15 year old boys and what you are seeing is par for the course. Both of our boys pulled away a little and you're right, it does feel offensive. I was in tears alot when my older son did it because we're very close and I thought I'd lost him. I promise he'll come right, especially as you seem to have a closeness with him. The food thing does my head in too. It feels suddenly a bit like back when they put their fingers in their mouths. ..it's a lack of control that scares me. I just started giving them grape juice with zinc and prebiotic in it each am. My boys are aware of how much I'm struggling lately though and Ive asked them to eat holdind food in its wrapping paper which they happily do and also I get them to change out of uniform and wash hands as soon as they get home. It's a bit scary this teen business isn't it. :-/
