I whole heartedly agree with those who say that this is sixteen talking! He needs to have his own ideas, is biologically programed to separate from you. But he'll come back around!

When I was sixteen, I was so driven to disagree with my parents. I had to leave the house, experience the world for myself, grow-up a bit, and then, by about 24, I was able to see how wise they are.

I know this hits you in the gut--don't teenagers always find those things that shake you to the core?

I really agree with everyone else. He is 16, give him some time. I was so mixed up at that age. There is a whole world of difference between 16 and the twenties.

[talk de jour]

I hope it's just a rebellious streak. If not.. that's awful. Not to mention a terribly painful thing for him to say to you.

Just one more voice saying he's just 16. When I was 16 I probably would have said I'd circ. When I was 16 I also thought that kids needed to cry themselves to sleep and sometimes just needed a good spanking. I had very different beliefs about a lot of things. Fortunately I didn't have a baby until I was 27. I needed time for my adult brain to come in.
