[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 400071, member: 1514"] Hi...welcome. There is an old adage that says that you are put here on earth to be your child's parent, not his friend. He can find friends but he only had one mother and one father. Parents are responsible for getting the kids grown into responsible adults to the best of their abilities. Sometimes the kids just resist our abilities. I know one of mine has certainly resisted everything I have tried to teach him. I hope that at some point it will sink in. When my boys were teens and complaining that I was ruining their lives by being strict or not letting them do some idiotic, lame brained scheme of the moment, I simply told them to remember this because I must be doing my job and if it really upset them so much they could complain about it later on in life when they needed therapy because I was such a horrible mother. So far none of them are in therapy...lol. [/QUOTE]
