[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got my teen a therapist and we worked on them walking away before saying something rude. Taking time to themselves and coming back and explaining what I did that frustrated them. Also, coming back and apologizing for being mean and rude.

I had to learn that I was actually being annoying, and I needed to learn what was annoying to them and stop doing that and when they said I was being annoying I needed to stop doing the annoying thing.

Basically we learned to communicate better and they learned to regulate their emotions.[/quote]

This is ridiculous, you had to learn that you were being annoying. Yeah not a chance I would do that. I'm not going to go out of my way to annoy my kids but I'm  not going to walk on egg shells around them. I tell my kids all the time if [b]I have to chose between me being annoyed and you being annoyed then I'd rather it be you. I make too many sacrifices as it is.[/b] [/quote]

I wouldn't blame a kid for being angry at a parent who acted that way, or surprised if the kid acted self-centered and annoyed their parent. After all, you decided to have kids. They didn't ask to be born. [/quote]
