I don't agree with those on here replying that teenagers always act like that to their parents, and it's ok. It's not ok. I NEVER would have talked back to or disrespected my parents or I would have gotten smacked across the room (and I'm only 27, so you can't say, "Oh, that was back in the day!"). You children will treat you how you allow them to treat you. They are absolutely a product of their environment. I do agree that you need to sit down with them, and firmly let them know that you will not tolerate any type of disrespectful behavior in your home and if it continues then there will be consequences. Put your foot down mom! I know you're overwhelmed and doing the absolute best that you can, but YOU are the mom! Show them who's boss! |
