[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just be direct. "Why do you think I'd want to do something for someone who's rude to me?" [/quote] +1[/quote] +2 My mom actually said this to me when I was being a snotty teen: "I'm not going to go out of my way to do nice things for someone who's not nice to me." Even at the time, I felt like that was fair, and it really changed how I acted towards her (at least, most of the time). [/quote] I said something along these lines to my 15yo DS about 6-8 months ago and it flipped a switch where he now always says thank you. He still teensplains at times but I give him The Look and he backs off. I think he needed to be ready to hear it.[/quote]
