I’m pissed, a little hurt, actually. Am I just the meal ticket and human alarm clock for the deepest sleeper on the planet? I can understand not sharing bad news, but why hold back the good news?
short answer: yes -- until he leaves home & realizes how much you do for him.
Plus late-adolescent boys (esp. ADHDers) have this grunting down to a fine art.
And I hate to tell you -- the more you resent it, the more they do it.
The more blithe you are, the more they communicate.

I know, I know you're right. In my head. But in my heart, it drives me nuts. I will take your advice to heart, though, for my own sanity!

Our eighteen year old is interested in college yet lifts not a finger to help locate something that makes sense. We've been living with grunt-speak for years and yes it grates on the nerves.
The past few weeks have been like getting kicked in the stomach with his attitude and behaviors.
It is tough being a parent and every one of us feels alone in the chaos of it all.
Everything you're expressing is spot on feelings that we all share.
