[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The teenage years are supposed to be for slowly separating from parents and learning independence. That's a completely natural process and hard to do right now. So parents and teens who are ready for that next step, but can't do it are understandably frustrated.

People are "aren't having any problems" with their teens at home might be in for a surprise when the day eventually comes they need to step out on their own. [/quote]

[b]The process of learning independence and responsibility is not that of conflict and rebellion in a functioning household/family. [/b]  My kids started to learn independence and domestic skills much before their teen years. They are  mature and self-aware enough to know that this pandemic situation is an anomaly.  They are more capable than many adults to find ways to keep themselves gainfully occupied during this period.   You give your kids time, respect and consideration and they will give you back the same.  Please don't be a snowflake or raise a snowflake. Most of us are employed, healthy and have a roof over our heads.  Teach them to be grateful for their life. [/quote]

Oh please. Teenage rebellion is as old as time, and thank God, or we’d be down a few key works of literature and probably all of rock and roll.[/quote]

Teenage rebellion that results in creativity is indeed very welcome. What op is talking about is not rebellion but unhappy home environment and kids acting out. 
Her kids are not making new music in the garage or trying to change the world. No. They are deeply unhappy and think that their parents are not worthy of their respect.
All for teen rebellion. I'm fact they can join BLM or Greta Thunbirg and try and change the world for the better. That's not what they are doing.[/quote]
