How many of you have cut off your kids for giving you lip?
So many here tell parents to cut off their kids, and I really believe that they have received lip and still not cut their own kids off. |

| First of all, how old is your adult child? Older or under age 22? Are they working full time and living out of the house? Can you explain the circumstance that they are rude to you? |

| I don't think this is a real question, OP is just trolling. |

| I'd cut you off for the term "giving you lip". Eww. Grow up. |

| For giving me lip? No, I taught my kids at a young age how to speak to me respectfully. And if I ever cut my kids off, it would have to be really, really bad, like my kid did something heinous. Giving me lip is not even in that realm. |

It’s a real question, but not a scenario I’m dealing with. |

| I wouldn’t cut any of my kids off over an argument, however, if they are living under my roof and I am paying the bills I have expectations for lifestyle choices and general harmony in my home. If that was a problem for them I would help them move out. Any adult child in my home has to be a good roommate. |

| I think about it all the time. I already told DD to feel free to leave when she turns 18 if she doesn’t want to live by our rules |

| Why do you accept it? Hang up or walk out. Tell them it's unacceptable. |

| But cutting off rather than establishing boundaries is not best. More passive aggressive |

Cutting off is the ultimate boundary. Nothing passive aggressive about it. No one is required to pay a dime for an adult child, particularly if an adult child is acting entitled and not being a good roommate. |

| Well, cutting off your own children is childish. |

Why is that exactly? |
