Ep: 21 Teen is always irritated, Icebergs, and follow up to ep. 20

Piggybacking onto the last episode, I share a few more thoughts on the contemptuous teenager, as well as responding to another message from a mom who has an irritable teenager who doesn't want to go anywhere when mom plans fun.  I always aim to be as gentle as possible, because I am not into mom shaming, and I got a little blunt here, because I love you! You may enjoy the Trusted Challenge on July 29th, which I mention at the end here, my answer and solution to many things: Become TRUSTED by your teenager.
