[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry there's been such a shift in how he speaks to you... but at some point don't you have to just say to your older kids, "Is something bothering you? I thought we were on the same team. I wish you would speak to me more respectfully." Or to say "Do I speak to you like that? Then, please speak to me with the same respect I give you." But that also means you have to be a respectful parent, otherwise that last one won't work. It seems like, and I only have young kids and using my recollection of being a teenager, that had my parents punished me for being rude or dramatic, I would have been a lot more rebellious than I was. Like all stages, I think this will pass.[/quote]
