…how long does a mum remain “persona non grata” one her boyohs become teenagers? It’s like Roddy and the boys have some sort of “old boys club” and I’m totally ignored *sigh*

I’m sorry to hear that 🙁
My mom is currently going through a lot of the same with my two brothers. The youngest just turned 13, and they’re both far too busy with the computer/xbox/friends to pay her any mind. She’s having a pretty hard time with it. I’m spending as much time as I can with her before I have to go back to school in September, but after that there’s not much I can do.
She calls her mom and talks with her a lot. It seems to help a little.
You could give your mother a call…?
I don’t mind being ignored, it’s the *^%#%%* attitude that gets to me… Let them know how you feel. That’s the biggest thing with teenagers; they’re so caught up in their own thing, they completely lose touch with the real world. My mom told me teenagers need to be taken out of their routine world. We’re so doing that next summer…

http://www.sarahjestin.com/feedbacklists.htmRemind your boys that you are human too, and you have feelings – and they are hurting those feelings! I don’t have any kids, but I was a teenager in the fairly recent past and I know that I could totally empathize with my parents when they made it glaringly obvious that I was being a typical teenage meanie.
I think the trick is to not let the discussion feel like they’re getting scolded – see if you can get them to go out to dinner with you, or something that’s neutral and that everyone can enjoy – then have a little chat when you’re having fun! It will take the sting out of the realization that they’ve been ignoring you, and hopefully it will drive home that you love them and still want to be part of their growing lives!

My mom knows exactly how you feel. The first thing my brother says to her (LITERALLY) when he sees her is “I’m hungry.” Then he proceeds to tell her to make him dinner “now, now, now, NOW!”
Ugh, brat D<
