My Son

My only son prefers his mom not in the house. He never misses his mom or bother to call her on her mom's hp. He finds more independence and freedom when mom is not around. Am i so strict, am i so unreasonable or have i nag too much??

Does that reflect my failure as a mother? It is so sad even though as a mom i know why he prefers i'm not home. I just can't stop nagging or scolding him. Sisters are always complaining about his bad habits, his behaviour, character and mannerism towards them while my mom or his grandmother consider him a good grandson if compare to many other children.

I want him to read books or the newspaper, speak more of English at home. I am worried he cannot communicate in English as good as his 2 sisters.

My friends laughed at me when i set rules & regulations for him in using the computers and how i want him to make others like and love him. To enforce the rules is another issue since I am away from work until late evening but i am not giving up.

I keep telling myself that i have to ensure he follows the rules. Oh yes, he did... he followed some and had even taken the trouble to wake up and accompany his grandma to the market. He is not that rotten. With proper counselling and guidance i am sure my son can change for better

He is only 13 years old. My only son or the only brother to 2 older sisters.
