[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 118951, member: 1498"] I remember back when my mom wanted me to call and tell her when I was going to be late. Every time I did, she didn't accept that I was calling to [I]tell[/I] her as she requested. Instead, she ordered me to come home for whatever reason. Eventally I reminded her that I was doing as she requested -- calling to tell her I was going to be later than I expected -- but if she was going to turn each call into a major discussion or, worse, an argument, I just wouldn't bother calling. She realized I [I]was[/I] following her rules and stopped trying to talk me into coming home. I kept that in mind when my son started going out. [/QUOTE]
