Any single moms have experience dealing with hormonal male teens? my two boys are driving me crazy and any advice or guidance or just talk would help a lot. I am new here so thanks for reading.

Kind of depends on what kind of issues you are talking about. Mine is no longer a teen but been there done that...

bad behaviors ranging from out of control anger outbursts to not being very discreet in his male needs and displays around the house. since this is a open forum I really do not want to get into specifics for the entire world to see. send me a message if you have experienced these things and have suggestions

being a young male myself, the best advice i could give you is to just give them their space.

the problem with males is they tend to imprint on there first sexual experiences sort of like baby ducks do

to there mother---when we have first time with commitment like marriage and family etc they tend to

imprint more on the girl rather then the sex---its something they have to work out--logic will not work--

-they will hopefully see the consequences of there actions as time passes---some grow out of the

unhealthy life style some don't---a healthy role model would help some---good luck

I went thru the same thing with both of my sons starting at around 13 and it ended around 17 -18.
I found the playboy books and DVD left in the machine and put up with the apparent "self practice" in their rooms.. My wife was pretty upset with it. But I told her to just put the magazines or DVD in their room and don't really say anything about it as it will pass. And it did. I felt that confronting them on that would have just lead to embarrassment on their part and it would not really serve a purpose as it is a normal for a boy of that age. ( their hormones are going crazy and they are like a kid in a candy shop.. can't see enough or get enough info of it)

Its a rite of passage, every boy does it( so did I and every other kid I knew at that age)

I did get them involved more in sports and that helped out a lot. It didn't stop them , but it gave them something else to think about

But, today is a different world. Internet porn is all over the place. If you do not have a porn filter on your home computer I would get one. It is one thing to allow them to " work thru" this stage of their live it is another to knowingly. allow access to material.

Regarding the shouting: we went thru that to. And that was met with a consistent firm and even toned reply. You are still in charge and they need to understand that. Mine didn't like it much at that age but once they realized that their little outbursts had no affect, the outbursts gradually stopped.

In my opinion and based on my experiences what your going thru will pass. Just stay consistent in your approach.

Hope this helps

Well about out of control anger bursts cannot tell anything before i know what causes it. if it's brother's quarrels then what worked for me was some kinda bad ultimatum. You don't need totell boys that shputing at each other or breaking each others stuff is wrong, hell we knew it was wrong. Mom up with an ultimatum which worked and we did not ever had such a major battle later.

Discreetness in male stuff is learned, it's useless to hope it'll go away on it's own. If the problem is jerking off and leaving mess behind the only solution really is find a way to do it clean. My parents chose to ignore the problem completely. It was not the best solution. If you are the one who buys their bathroom stuff, buy them hygiene towels (avoid pink or other embarrassing colors). You may want to tutor them briefly that it is a towel to wipe their private parts (cuz it's not the best idea to dry ones ***, balls and face into the same bath towel anyway) and that nearly everyone male or female who doesn't reek uses or should use one and when it comes to washing them, then a normal person puts it into the washing machine with his own hands... or smth like that. I think they'll figure out immediately what these are good for.

Maybe someone else has a better idea.
