Me and Lexi made a tent and ate in a tent so I didnt even end up eating with them. Then to top it all off. He let Lauryn go to a college football game with her friend and her family (her dad coaches Ball State University and it was on ESPN lastnight) it didnt even start til 7:00. I can't believe he let her go after all that crap last night. Ok so just reward her for doing wrong...uggg It was time to take her and she said...Mom I'm ready to go. I looked at her and said ok, go tell your dad (he was out mowing and picking up leaves in the yard) So he had to stop doing what he was doing and take her there a little before 6. Guess what....he ended up mowing in the dark to finish up cause he had to stop...lol (serves him right) I would have never let her go to the game on a school night cause we know it wont get over with for a long long time after bed time, But men don't think that way. So 10:00 rolled around and I said, I'm off to bed, you need to stay up and wait for Lauryn to get home cause that's what good moms do and he said. ok I will. Well the game didnt get over with til really late and it was midnight when they both got in bed. (can't believe he let her do that on a school night.) So he gets in bed and I said, oh you might want to go in her room and get her cell, cause she will be up texting if its not taken away. His response was.....Omgosh. like she would be up this late texting Denise. I said fine...don't believe me AGAIN. So about 15 min. went by and he decided to go into her room and tell her he needs her cell. Well, sure enough she was under the covers texting with her cell phone lite up. So he got on to her and brought her phone in our room and said I guess you were right. I said...Yep! I'm not so stupid after all. Oh and I had her ride the bus this morning too. hahahaha I'm show them what its like not to have Mom to depend on. and Patti I do agree with you, we give our kids WAY TOOOO much. I think we try to over compensate for not having much in our childhood. More isnt always better. I'm finding out the hard way. I WONDER WHAT HE'S MAKING HIS FAMILY FOR SUPPER TONIGHT. LOL | |

| I agree with what you are doing!!! I have threatened to do the same thing at our house but my DH came around before I had to act on it. I think just the thought of my DH having to do everything scared him to death. Buuuuut if my son goes back to his old ways (back talking me all the time)...I will stop doing everything for him. I hope you and your DH are back on the same "team" soon!!! Parenting is hard enough as it is.....your daughter does not need to see ya'll playing against each other. But it sounds like your DH left you no choice. Like I said, I would be doing the same thing you are doing. Hopefully, there will be a compromise soon between you and your DH.

| I have a 13 year old daughter too! I thought all teenagers back talked their moms....I know my daughter does sometimes, but never to her Daddy!!! She is a very bright and smart girl, that is very respectful and helpful, but just sometimes.....aurgh......AND she has everything too....in fact, her 68 Firebird is getting restored and she has all the best clothes, and such too, but she knows where she comes from and she is grateful to have those things. I think they just get in "moods" (their hormones and all) and sometimes, they can't help it!

I think our children or like our pets...you have to show some discipline for them to learn. I grew up in a pretty strict house...although, we got a lot of things, we always knew where they came from and how much our parents worked for them, etc. My daughter knows that all to well here. And she gets po'ed when she gets in trouble, but she feels so bad about it afterwords, she will go out of her way to make sure it doesn't happen again....I think I have a very unique teen girl!

| Denise, What was your daughter's reaction to having to ride the bus? I love all your follow-thru!! Good for you! Wasn't it somewhere in Indiana where the woman went on strike at her own house last year?? Hopefully your husband is a quick learner, so he doesn't have to experience something like that. Also, if you go get Stormie Omartin's book on the praying parent - you might want to pick up the one on the praying wife & a copy of the pray husband for your husband. Also, I just wanted to add that one of my all time favorite books & the best child-rearing book I ever read was "How to Really Love Your Child" by Dr. Ross Campbell. He also has "How to Really Love Your Teenager."
