Hello,
I have two young boys whom are 13, and 14 years old. Yes, very close in age. So at times it is mind boggling as to what to do in situations and no one to talk to about. My oldest is very smart, and always very happy go lucky kind of kid. He gets real good grades, and has a sense of humor. My other little guy is smart, but he has to put forth more effort, is very popular with the girls and can think he is all that, except when a bully confronts him. Can be funny at times and we let him know. LOL.
It seems that lately he has this girl, in which she is not supposedly his girlfriend, but he calls her...his "best-friend". This girl from what I can see is quite obsessed with my son and calls at all hours constantly talking to him. He tells me that I hate her and I told him already that I don't. I just don't want her over only b/c her mother dropped her off a few times around 1pm and then decided to pick her up at 11pm at night. I told him I think that is quite inconsiderate on her behalf, especially having a daughter and not knowing us that well. By the way, she has stated to him that I hate her as well....I think she is just trying to manipulate him. They are only 13!!!!!!
His grades were slipping at one point, and I have him on a strict schedule, but since he has been responsible enough to bring them up and I said he can talk on the phone, but then I see it is getting out of hand as to him/her talking on weekends until 11pm or so. If he doesn't call, then she automatically calls him, especially as soon as he is getting home from school.
Well, my question is...how should I basically handle this situation?
Thanks,
