[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s a big problem. Anytime I set boundaries or responsibilities, my DD tells me I am abusive. If I tell her she can’t date until she is 16, I am a controlling helicopter parent who won’t let her life, and I am toxic. If I say she has to make her bed and take out the trash as a member of this household where everyone contributes, she thinks she should be paid. If I say she must finish her homework before watching TV, I don’t respect the way she works best (BTW, we tried it her way a couple of times and guess what happens…). She’s rude and I tell her I don’t like the way she is speaking to me; it’s not appropriate —and she tells me I am a terrible parent who doesn’t allow her freedom of speech. She was incredibly rude one day this year and told me she wishes I were dead, and broke something of mine on purpose. I told her she was grounded and not allowed to go to the school party that night. She said how dare I take away childhood memories she could make at the school party.

She is 13. She is getting all this from social media and other girls. She already tells me she hates me and can’t wait to cut me out of her life. OP’s daughter sounds like it was similar growing up.l have no doubt at 22 my DD will hate me too but I am still going to parent, set boundaries, expect respect, etc. Social media tells them their parents should allow them to do whatever they want with a smile and a gift or money in their hands. It’s more than entitlement, they want complete freedom, no responsibility, no accountability, all the while being showered with gifts.

If you disagree at all, you are abusive.[/quote]

Ugh.

Meanwhile the dads are prancing around playing Good Cop or just neglecting everyone? [/quote]
