Better Kitty Litter than the antiperspirant called AXE - my son uses it and the whole house radiates with this sickening sweet smell. Laurie, I feel for you - my son is 15. I remember thinking "how can I get this kid through college" - now I think "how can I get this kid through high school?" He doesn't seem to care about his grades - only being around his friends. For the most part, all of his friends I really like - there is one though that drives me up a wall. And, of course, that is the one that lives on our street. I think my daughter will be the tough one. Right now she is 12 soon to be 13 and her attitude sucks, for lack of a better word.
Hang in there!! I find if I go for a drive - like to the mall 20 minutes away with my kids we talk while we are in the van. It seems to be very productive because I talk with them not at them. I try to find out where there head is at and remind them of their boundaries. Trust has to be built back up - and they have to prove that trust - bottom line!!
Just my two cents!!
