[QUOTE="nvts, post: 116849, member: 3814"] Here's the page I'm on in my house: 1. "whatever" 2. I'm the Mom, you're the child, just do what I said" 3. I don't have to tell you "why"! 4. I didn't ask you what you're doing, I told you to stop it! 5. and the most important of all: in a flat, monotone. Somewhere along the line, I've grown a wicked spine and a tired of this garbage attitude. I've decided that since I am the responsible for my feelings, only I can allow him to hurt them. I've also gotten into the habit of telling people to put up or shut up. I'm tired of suffering the backlash because other people decide that discipline is going to fix it. I've been told: 1. you're mean 2. you don't love me! 3. I'm running away! (I respond with: strip naked before you leave because I bought the clothes and remember: you're not allowed to cross the street, so have fun walking in circles) 4. you hate me 5. and the most important of all: I love you Mom. That being said, I have also disallowed "I'm sorry I said that". My response is now: then you shouldn't have said it. God knows I love him, but I'm done taking a lot of his :censored:! Beth [/QUOTE]
