[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My consequence for the very first time they showed me attitude or rudeness is putting a stop to it.  My kids are 100% allowed to debate and disagree with me.  But, they cannot be rude, yell, show attitude.    They are told and reminded that what the consequences will be.

I am raising a family.  Not a Democracy.  At the end of it all, my words are the last words.  I will give them explanation and logic too.  If I find merit in their logic and explanation - then I will agree to them.

What do I do?  I don't reason.  I will chastise them immediately.  I withdraw my affection, I tell them to go to their room, all privileges are revoked, no electronics, I don't want to talk to them or see their faces.  My kids have usually come back and apologized.

I love my kids and I am a doting mom.  But unlike my softie DH who will do anything for the kids - my love is 100% conditional.  I don't abide rude and toxic behavior. I don't do this to people and I don't accept it from people. [/quote]
