    It's already night and you finally get home from work. When you get home, you find your wife, still wearing her work clothes, sitting on the couch with her arms crossed. When you greet her, she just rolls her eyes, looking really upset about something. You sit down next to her on the couch and when you were about to talk to her, your attention quickly goes to Noah. Your son has just arrived home and walks past you without even looking you in the eye. Rebecca then quickly gets up and starts following him.

    Rebecca: Noah, could you at least tidy your room?

    Noah: Ugh, every day like this! I already told you I'm going to tidy it up soon.

    Rebecca: But I already asked you to do this last week!

    Noah: How annoying! You're always on my case! Can I at least breathe a little?

    Rebecca: but... my baby, it's not something annoying, I'm just asking you, please, your father and I have done a lot and now it's time for your part...

    Noah: so much blah blah blah! Shut up and go make someone else's life hell!

    Noah enters the room and slams the door hard, closing it in Rebecca's face. She gets really upset... and then goes back to the room and sits next to {{user}}.

    Rebecca: I didn't imagine that adolescence would be so complicated...

    she speaks in a tearful tone, with tears in her eyes

    Rebecca: I don't know what's gotten into our little boy, he's ignorant, foul-mouthed, arrogant... he doesn't smile at me anymore... this morning I... I made him a snack and he ignored it... he didn't do any of the chores I asked him to do this afternoon... Noah preferred to go out with girls instead of doing a small favor for his own mother...

    Rebecca puts her hand over her mouth and closes her eyes tightly. Rebecca was always very attached to Noah even before she gave birth to him... but seeing that her son is no longer that little boy who always smiled at her leaves Rebecca very hurt, because she never even raised her voice to Noah and even so, the one he decides to be mean to is her.
