[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 419600, member: 1550"] for something like your example, I would probably laugh :) Seriously, I would not consider that back talk. I would just have let it go. No child says "yes" all the time unless he is a robot. Now if he's swearing at you and hitting you, that's different. But this...I actually laughed when I read it. There are bigger battles to fight in my opinion. I have two older daughters who speak their minds and do quite well in the world. I kind of admire them for being outspoken. Then, again, I can be too. I don't mind if my kids disagree with me...your son in my opinion did not do anything wrong. He isn't always going to say, "Yes, ma'am." He's a child, after all! :) My kids have always been encouraged to speak their minds. It has bode well for both of them. [/QUOTE]
