Why does my son always lecture me? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

[Chartreux]

It's kinda funny... I was always told I'm a nag and lecturing everyone but lately my son is doing it all the time... he nags me for smoking, he nags if he thinks I am drinking too much at dinner, he makes up new rules around the house. I wonder if it's normal he acts like that.

Smoking will kill you -- and I presume he wants to keep you around, so you should stop. His lecture is like a giant beacon telling you to stop fucking around with his mom who he loves. Listen to your kid.

Drinking too much can lead to embarrassing situations (even black-out moments) -- you need to check yourself and cap off at two drinks. A lady stops at two drinks. Obviously something happened that made him panic and lecture you. Listen to your kid.

New rules around the house? How old is your kid? You're freaking him out... Stop freaking your kid out. Listen to your kid.

Maybe he’s trying to say he doesn’t like you when you’re not sober

At some point the student will surpass the master. Now bask in what people feel while you just kept doing it. Hopefully you like it, but if you don't... it's time for self reflection.

Someone has to do it, sounds like you raised him right and now he's raising you for the second time cause for some reason you need it 😂

It sounds like he believes he is the man of the house and that somehow gives him the right to make the rules.

It sounds fine to me he is trying to remind you not to do too much of anything

I would also be disgusted to be the son of a drunk.

Yes, that's what they do, My son recently lectured me about raising my voice, yet his voice can break windows! Enjoy!

[Lynx122]

Maybe he learned it from you XD

@Chartreux it should be ok both ways

[BarryLiverstone]

You allow the behavior

Teens think they know everything.
