[QUOTE="klmno, post: 419598, member: 3699"] I agree with Donna with one exception- I tend to think it's all of society having this attitude (or most, not all) that parents are there to be the checkbook and just delve out to the kids and really aren't allowed to keep their kids in line. At least that was my experience- of course sd and courts people all said they expected me to keep difficult child in line but they sure never backed me up when I tried and they spent a lot more effort trying to fault me and look for a reason to turn difficult child opver to dss. But overall, I have tio agree that parents aren't in the role they used to be. In any case, it appears to me, Jen, that your oldest is not showing you any respect because you aren't sticking to anything nyou tell her for more than a week or two then you change your position again. I know in your mind you feel that your positio0n is staying the same, but as an outsider looking in by only reading some of your threads (admittedly) it looks like yiou end up giving in on any decision you make about punishment after a couple of weeks. Obviously, your oldest isn't too worried about any punishment from you and there's a reason for that. [/QUOTE]
