Living a life of parent of a teenage brat

I was overwhelmed when my son was born and as he grew into a toddler he was even more cute with his lisping voice and protuding teeth n stole hearts.
He would love to hug me and tell stories and will sleep with me soundly.
But the time didnt last for long when gradually i realised ,he was no longer liked bieng called by his pet name.n ran after boys of his age in neighbour.
So far so good...but the actual pain began when he grew up to the age of 12 or say 13.I dont know whether he always behave like this with everyone or its just me who is victimised.He is constant pain in the neck while i m with him.He is always bored as hell forever and throws his slippers in air as if he is secretly  developing skill for some competetion .His sudden liking for "dhinchak pooja" uploads are scary for me and his love for "J
Horrid Henry" as if these are his idols now.
While studying if you can make them sit for a while ...
Will start rocking the table with pens n thumps his feet on ground, not only  our house shakes,but people living downstairs have realised that they have rented  first floor to wrong people.
Probably, boys at his age howsoever times you feed them are hungry like starved somalian kids
I thought i may make him sober if i could teach him to make sandwich or oreo shake..yes , for a while was happy that finally i will get relief from his constant  request to make him "something" to eat.But minutes  later and realise it was mistake on my part when i see entire kitchen turned into huge mess, refrigerator opened and stains of ketchup over shelves.I am sure he does all these deliberately  to irritate me.He is restless even when he walks around in house, keeps pulling curtains.Don't know if all kids at this age are alike .I just felt like penning it down because i find it very therapeutic for my nerves which remain  tensed when he is around.If not playing outside ,he still thumps football on walls and the only peacful time is when he is glued to smartphone or games.I tried to introduce him to wonderful world of books only to be thrown back at my face and if not that he will secure the books in his cupboard saying he will read later or else 'it would be finished' as if it is a pack of his favourite cookies.Hmmmm.'no idea' that how and when this stupid age will be over.Praying for those who have similar type of kid at thier home and jealous of those who have sweet little girls .Anyway, its just a tired parent complaining  and whining .I still love my brat a lot..😁😁😁
