[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 388870, member: 6546"] For an English project, difficult child decided to tackle the subject of "Parental Nagging". Her report details that abusive, parental nagging is responsible for poor grades amongst high school student's AND a 30% dropout rate amongst college students. Wow! Who knew??? difficult child's advice to parents is this: 1) Parents need to understand that once a person reaches age 14, they are no longer a child, they are an adult. 2) Just because these teenaged adults choose to live at home in no way gives parents the right to tell them what to do. 3) These teens require their parents financial support - BUT do not need to hear any parental opinions about how they spend the money. 4) Teens do best if their parents leave them completely alone - except, of course, if the teen needs something. ************************* And how did difficult child do the research for this report? Evidently, she herself is a victim of severe, abusive nagging at the hands of her parents! Gosh, I feel just horrible! CPS will be stopping by at any moment, I'm sure... (I can't wait to hear what the English teacher thinks of this report! Of course, she may be the one who "turns us in". LOL!) [/QUOTE]
