What would you do if your 7 year old called you annoying?

Ah, yes. Those white parents, whose children outperform your race's in pretty much every measurable outcome - college attendance rates, graduation rates, health, money indicators, violence, crime, and so on. You keep hitting your kids. It's clearly working very well for you!

Thats why your kind is the kind to most likely be serial killers, rapist, pedophiles, and diagnosed with every mental illness possible. All your children needed was discipline.

FWIW, I asked him to put on a coat before going out to see a winter lights display.

No light display and whatever the normal consequence is for being disrespectful.

Thankfully, my kids know the consequences of being disrespectful to elders in my household, so they don't pull this kind of stunt.

Wow, watch out in Big Mama's house. Wonder how you plan to handle it when Child Services shows up at your house.

Do not worry about Child Services coming to my house. We do not have drama in my home. My kids excel in school and they are well looked after. I know how to parent. You however seem to be confused about what you need to do to be a parent. So, I am willing to give that slap to you and your kid, in the interest of public service.

Remind me of the Dr. Phil show when the White kid SLAPPED his mom.

This is just a kid testing his boundaries. Let him know that its not appropriate to say that to you, but its a word he's heard someone else use: either you or another authority figure. If he continues, then punish him.

I tell him he's rude and he has to apologize - which he does.
He's 9.5 and backtalk is creeping up.

By 9.5 - he should know better to even try and backtalk. If the consequence of being rude is that he has to apologize, then good luck to you.

I think you are a complete moron. Ooops, that was so rude. I apologize.

I'm pretty strict about showing respect. My kids wouldn't dare call me an ugly name or refuse to do something I asked them to do. But calling me "annoying"? That's not really disrespectful. I'm sure I am annoying sometimes.

For what it's worth, I am the mom of three college and two high school kids. I truly hope I annoyed them when they were younger.

I wouldn't mind it, but I'm trying to raise an independent thinker - not a future janitor or maid.

An independent thinker can still be courteous to everyone. I don't see how those relate.

What would you do?

Let you son decide if he needs a jacket..

[Anonymous]

I'd let him go without a jacket and let him be cold.

First of all, wearing a jacket is not a battle I ever choose to engage in. I only insist on taking a jacket, whether it not the kid wears it is up to her. If she wants to not wear it and be cold, fine.

Secondly, parents ARE annoying. I'd acknowledge that and admit to remembering how annoying it seemed to always have my mother telling me what to do. Would not slap.

Working well for Asian parents and if I'm not mistaken they're outperforming white kids.
