My oldest tells me everything. My son goes to my husband more but thats ok. My kids know what they can and can't get away with. I will do anything for them and they know they have my trust. But if they do anything to break that trust, my punishment is harsh but they know it' for thier own good. my son was slacking in school this year. I had 4 out of 6 teachers call me to discuss his behavior in class. He was Mr. social and wanted to talk to the girls and not do what he was suppposed to do. Just being a clown and his grades started to drop. So we grounded him for a month. Some may say that is harsh but for all we do for them,,, they know better. They have all kinds of cool things that can be taken away just as fast or even faster then they got them. |
My mom was very similar. I still tell her everything, and my brother and I both know what is expected. I think it's definitely been for the better with me. I mean, I know girls who, in high school, wouldn't tell their moms about needing birth control! To me, that's just taking an unnecessary gamble...
