[quote=Anonymous]I have taken a different approach to the "ass whooping"- YMMV. Last summer, DD was 16 and I decided I would give her the summer without any nagging from me. It was hard, but I just decided to completely lower my expectations. I did ASK her to do some things, but if she didn't do them, I wouldn't nag. This worked mainly because she is an incredibly easy going and nice person (still an entitled, "spoiled" and very messy teenager though). I've taken that approach again this summer although I have been gently asking her to do a few more things. It can be frustrating, but it's only a matter of a few years until both my kids are off to college and I'm sure I'll miss them. Honestly, I've realized there are just some things they are not going to learn in my household no matter how much I nag. (My) Teenagers are NEVER going to care if their bathroom is clean for example, but I do have faith that once they are living on their own, they will come around.[/quote]
