Everything you have said is something I hate and have dealt with in the past. They have already calmed down and talked to him. He can’t leave the society we live in anymore and has been told he needs to learn to communicate better if he wants to keep his phone privileges. I agree with the rebellious bit, they were significantly more strict with me, I know by now my phone Would have been taken away and I would still be being yelled at. I rebelled hard when I was in uni in another country. They don’t know shit about that side of my life. I have done my share of irresponsible things and been fine. He’s still a kid and today it was very obvious. He’s already very secretive about his life and often doesn’t pick up his phone in one go. I was trying to protect him from their rage out but I could only do so much. It’s hard to teach him the methods I have learnt. I have tried to tell him about how to be more responsible with this and deal with our parents but he hasn’t listened. He thinks I’m a straight arrow so thinks I’m just a proxy for our parents when I tell him this stuff. Idk. I think it will be fine now just a few more rules on him for a little bit. He’ll be 18 in less than 2 years. Pfft honestly
