Im just really pleased that your son is only a couple of years away from leaving home and being able to 'escape' the nuerotically controlled enviroment hes been forced to live in.

You have the typical frustrations that all controlling people have when they cant get others to bend to their will..
The fact, your son is now 14 yrs of age you STILL go on about a non issue like this, I can only breathe a deep sigh of relief for him that its almost over.
