I don't intensity or boredom as boyish - it's a personality thing. I have boys who keep themselves busy and boys who are always bored, girls too.

The physical aggression is the equivalent of the girls being mean to each other. Get him a punch ball to take it out on.
Encourage him to do sports or similar and he will develop muscles which is a good thing.

My question is is it unloving to not feed them 4x what they think they need to eat? The cost adds up…

Also is it unloving to make boundaries that we don’t eat at 10pm? Eat an apple.

Not there yet. Just wondering. When I married my husband he would consume huge amounts of food and it was totally unnecessary. The human body doesn’t need that much. I would still give it to him out of love though.

Are these perceived needs necessary to be a loving parent? I also used to eat tons as a teenager and I think it fuels the animal inside the person. Like taayvos.

Teenagers *grow*. One inch before noon and another inch in the afternoon. And yes, they need all that food.
