[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have to say something here. My tween announced rudely at dinner the other day that I was lazy. Mind you I work FT and put a meal from scratch on the table each and every night. I shot him a look of such utter disgust and said one pharase calmly "What did you just say" that he cried right at the dinner table practically instantly.  Even my DH who is a hot head was completely silent.

I shocked the shit out of myself that I was able to muster up such a glare. He knew instantly that he was up shits creek.[/quote]

Yup - we are not 'friends'. 
After age 25 maybe. Before that I'm mom.[/quote]

Couldn't agree more about parents being parents.  Heck, my 4.5 year old gets the "what did you say?" when she complains about dinner, and then we explain that it's rude.  I don't want my kids to fear me, necessarily (not in a way that shuts them down or makes them feel unsafe), but they're damn well going to learn from a young age to treat *everyone* with respect and kindness, and that starts at home.[/quote]

Your kid is 4.5. You are truly clueless.[/quote]
