If you live with a surly, moody teenager then I wrote this post for you! I want to give you a bit of a laugh (hopefully) and also give you some ideas on how to handle your bad tempered and unfriendly teenager. I am comparing the video game Angry Birds to the relationship between angry teens and their parents.

Do you ever feel like your teenager is so irritating that you might just lose your mind? Maybe you are barely maintaining control. You are so close to saying or doing something that you will likely regret. Sometimes you successfully calm yourself down, but other times you totally lose it. In this post I am talking about what to do when you get really, really mad at your son. You might think of it as kind of an anger management to-do list for parents.

Having an angry son who is verbally abusive is an unfortunate and painful reality in family life. Teens can have volatile moods and they don't have the skills to manage their emotions. What do you do if your son calls you names? Maybe horrible names. Here are a few of my ideas for you to consider.
