[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who calls their parent a "F**king A**hole" during an argument about screen time.

The range is nothing, to complete loss of privileges.

Where would it fall in your household?[/quote]

Eh. I'd say "you're not very likely to get what you want if you talk like that" and then ignore it. Half the time, I think teenagers just want to get a rise out of their parents[/quote]

The other 1/2 they have a shit ton of estrogen rushing through their body and don’t know why they are so frustrated.

I might talk about frustration later and how to breath through it. We had a code word when someone was frustrated.[/quote]

+1 ^^ It's 10x easier for them to lose their emotions than you and their hormones can make them go crazy and over emotional for no apparent reason. To top it off, it's over their valued-screen time which is their social outlet and down-time.

Can you put yourself on their shoes? If your spouse or your own mom kept annoying you to get off your screen/phone you'd have a knee-jerk reaction too, no?

I'm not condoning it, but you also have to see it from their point of view. YOu don't give a lot of context - do you have known household rules for screens? Was your kid finishing up chatting with a friend and was about to get off? Is your 14 yr old a good kid otherwise? [/quote]
