Every single one of us, and every single kid out there today has gone through a phase where we are total jackasses. I went through that stage early – I was a douchebag when I was 13-15 years old. By the time I was 16, I had gotten it all out of my system, pretty much. The tween and early teen years are those years when you hate your parents, you hate the world and anything involving parental supervision or “rules” is just THE WORST. Everyone you encounter will get to see your magnificent eye-roll and your death stare. And so it is with Madonna’s son Rocco. Rocco is 15 years old and he wants the world to know that he would much rather spend time with her father, Guy Ritchie, rather than his mother, Madonna. MOM!! LEAVE ME ALONE.

Madonna’s teenage son Rocco is sick of touring with his pop-star mom, so he’s refusing to spend the holiday break with Madge at her Manhattan townhouse. When Rocco, 15, disobeyed his mom’s demand to board a plane from London — where he’s staying with his filmmaker dad, Guy Ritchie — Madonna ran to court Wednesday to force the teen’s return to New York. Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Deborah Kaplan ordered Rocco to come home, but Ritchie’s attorney made it clear that he would not voluntarily return to the US.

“He has expressed very clearly that he does not want to return to New York,” Ritchie’s attorney Eric Buckley told the judge. The comment annoyed Madonna, who tried to interject, but was hushed by her celebrity divorce attorney Eleanor Alter. A source close to the case said Rocco might not abide by Judge Kaplan’s order.

“This is a 15½-year-old strapping young kid, so we’ll see,” a source close to the case told The Post. The source said Rocco had been traveling with Madonna across the world for her Rebel Heart tour for the last two months.

“The boy said he didn’t want to stay with her,” the source said. “He’s not getting along with his mom, which is not a surprise for a child that age.”

There is also a pending court proceeding in the UK, where Rocco has his own lawyer. The Manhattan judge said Rocco would also have a court-appointed attorney in the New York custody case, where the teen could tell the judge whether he wants to live with mom or dad. But first he must come to New York and face his mom, the judge said. Madonna argued that the dispute belongs in New York, where she lives, and where the divorce agreement was registered in 2009. Kaplan told the superstar to discuss the dispute with her ex-husband before they return to court in the coming weeks.

Eh. While Madonna is not my favorite person in the world, I think she loves her children and she’s a decent mom. I don’t think Rocco is saying he doesn’t want to come to New York because of anything Madonna did or did not do. He’s just being bratty, and it’s sort of obvious that he’s going through a phase where he gets along better with his dad. I will say this – it’s probably really difficult to be a teenage boy and have Madonna as a mother. Not just that, but he’s been working on her tour for two months. He’s seen enough of her, in his mind. When you look at it that way, it’s sort of surprising that Rocco is as well-adjusted as he seems.

Also: I do think that 15/16 year-old kids are old enough to “choose” between divorced parents. I know that’s not a popular opinion, but if Rocco really wants to spend a few months with Guy and Guy is fine with it, then I do think Rocco should have that choice, regardless of court orders. This also just goes to show you – Madonna is going through a phase too. Her phase is “getting along with Sean Penn” and “still hating everything to do with Guy Ritchie.”
