[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Geez, give your kids some room to breathe, OP. DD is at an age where you should begin giving her some leash. Instead of asking "did you do your homework?" say: "remember to do your homework." It's her job now. As long as she gets it done in her own time, then no problem. If she's starting it at bedtime, then let her learn the hard way that she needs to start it earlier in the evening. Maybe her bedtime is too early for her age. When was the last time you moved it forward? Update your parenting paradigm for the teen years. Give your kids the room and more responsibility to figure out what works for them. --Mom of young adults who did the same things as your DD, and are now in honors college because they learned what works for them and did it all themselves[/quote] I choked on your smug.[/quote]
