[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 510226, member: 1233"] It may be typical teen but I would have been afraid to do it. So would gfgbro. Our mother would have put us to WORK. HARD work, and if we said we didn't want to, the reply would have been, "Did I ask if you wanted to? Do I care if you want to? NO. and NO. So get up and do it before I find another chore for you to do before I let you eat or watch anything or go to sleep. Now." My mother would have been whispering by the end and we would have RUN to do that chore. My kids RUN when I whisper too. Esp as I get that lockjaw thing my mother always did when it was an "angry you have just ruined your life let me show you how" whisper. Is he even a little afraid of what you will do, ever? I think that even a difficult child should be somewhat afraid of us, of what we will do. It just makes them more respectful and less entitled because they know there IS a limit and you WILL go out of your way to make them miserable if they beg you to. Being nice and reasonable is great, if it gets your kids to do and learn what they need to do and learn, part of which is to respect their parents. If they won't respect you any other way, fear will accomplish something. Not that you will beat them if they sniffle, but that if they are rude to you then you will find a way to make them regret it seriously. Just in my opinion and some may say it is abusive or wrong or not collaborative and that is okay. But even wiht all that Wiz did, there were some things he would NOT do because he was afraid of what I might do or say. Not much, but some things. [/QUOTE]
