[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Um no. And what do you when someone disrespects you at work, at the grocery store, on 495...

It’s a teaching moment. Hard parenting. Kid was looking for a reaction and some attention. He’s 12 and hormonal. You discipline without violence setting a boundary for acceptable language. Time for a lengthy talk.

I was a horrible teen and the worst punishment ever was an hour long chat with Dad. Looking back, he was a wonderful father and role model of calm. Not a doormat at all.[/quote]

Listen, I think you are nuts and a bad mother, and you think I'm nuts and a bad mother, let's just move on. Happy Mother's Day and enjoy what little is left of it![/quote]

Ok. I was a NP. I didn’t say anyone was a bad mom. I just don’t believe in corporal punishment. A 12 year old boy told his Mon to quit bitching on Mother’s day. It was disrespectful, foul language, bad character... slapping that kid isn’t going to teach him anything other than violence. And to the poster’s invoking Daddy to fix the problem, major disrespect to Moms on discipline. Moms can effectively discipline asshole boy tweens/teens behavior without invoking Andre the Giant. Otherwise, what message are you sending when he’s alone with a girl? Girls and women need men as backbones?[/quote]

Do not underestimate the power of a strong male role model.  If a teenage boy back talks his mom and dad doesn't bat an eye about it or laughs and rolls his eyes or has some other inappropriate reaction.... that sends a message to the kid that it is acceptable to back talk Mom.  If a father immediately steps in and stands up for his wife and tells the boy to respect his Mom - that is also a very, very strong message to that boy:  The men in our house respect women.[/quote]

:roll: maybe the issue is not respecting women and more two people who push each other’s buttons. Many time another person with a different personality or not so emotional involved in the argument can cool things down. Raising kids is not just about some moving bar about respecting women. [/quote]
