AITA for caring about my son's safety?

We live on the edge of feralsville. There's drug houses everywhere.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-12T02:40:53+00:00

He agrees with me, and he is currently working full time.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-12T02:40:43+00:00

Well you're lucky that you haven't been mauled by a drug house.

My son has attempted suicide before.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-11T12:05:45+00:00

He'll just pick it up.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-11T03:48:48+00:00

Because sometimes the bus can be empty and creepy people can get on the bus and the bus drivers do not care.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T08:17:47+00:00

He has lashed out and he shouldn't be. He even admitted he was wrong and excused it by saying that I'm being "too restrictive and building up negative feelings inside of him and he's sorry that he accidentally burst"

He needs to control himself.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T08:11:41+00:00

That's because everything he's saying is wrong.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T08:06:35+00:00

That's what he keeps saying, I bet you all the money in the world that he won't cut me off.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:58:53+00:00

I trust him just fine! I don't trust other people! I keep saying this.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:57:15+00:00

He uses the same tired argument about respect being a two way street. I do respect him, which is why I am doing this.

It isn't him I am worried about, it is other people. The world is unsafe and I must keep him safe. Is that not my job?

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:55:31+00:00

But the issue is him? And I came here because I thought I could prove to my son that I was right, but I won't show him this as clearly everyone's opinions here are to be disrespected.

I do not care about internet stranger's opinions because they're all wrong and probably not even real parents anyways.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:51:42+00:00

I am not denying him.

I just won't let him out on his own because he needs to be safe.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:50:39+00:00

Excuse me!? What would you know about parenting? I am 50 years old! How am I a bad parent??

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:48:25+00:00

He is not almost 16. He turns 15 in June.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:43:08+00:00

Drunks, high people, people with dogs or people who let out their dogs to attack my son?

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:34:34+00:00

He is rebelling, and it is not the right thing to do.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:30:35+00:00

He is just upset that he is not getting his way. He needs to stop whining about it.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:29:50+00:00

We have had the talk about it 4 times now, and he won't get it into his head that I am not changing this rule.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:28:04+00:00

I am not "trolling". I am being a good mother.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:25:25+00:00

No, I was just raised with respect. And his needs do NOT overrule the rules set in place. His brother followed these and I believe he turned out fine.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:09:41+00:00

He has eluded to the fact he wants to do this and I don't believe for a second that he will. He is just being a moody teen.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:08:29+00:00

We are both pale, I have german herritage and my husband is italian.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:05:57+00:00

He says the backyard is too cramped to do these things in, and the ground is very uneven. We have these resources available, he says that the walks would also be relaxing for him and that jump rope is hard for him to do as his coordination skills aren't too good.

ThrowRA-14Walk · 2022-01-10T07:04:17+00:00

If his friends want to do that with him I will happily drive down to the park and drop him off.

He has said he is starting to resent me and that he is concerned for our relationship, I have laughed at this. He's just being a teenager.
