[QUOTE="kris, post: 12632, member: 74"] <font color="brown">once my kids hit that age where they might be inclined to feel the need to cuss me out i told them that i understood it would happen. however, it would not happen in my presense. if the urge to cuss mom out was strong upon them they could remove themselves....to their room, out the door...find a friend if they required an audience. they were not, however, to ever get in my face & spew garbage to me/about me. for the mostpart, this has worked well for us. i think that a child/young adult in the confines of their own room, esp if the door is closed, has a resonable epectation of privacy......that anything said with-in the confines of that room is not meant to be heard by anyone else. like i said....private. inevitably there are some things that are bound to be overheard...esp in the heat of an argument. if a kid is overheard to be saying nasty stuff about their parent i think it's okay to confront what's said, but in our home, said kid would not be punished for what was overheard ~~~~ especially if, when confronted, the kid was apologetic & showed remorse for hurting my feelings. i rule my house...and yes, i said rule...as a benevolent dictatorship lol. i listen, weigh their point of view & we hopefully come to a resonable decision. however, on points of safety my rule is law & it will not be bent. kris </font> [/QUOTE]
