[quote=Anonymous]Oh my. My 12 yo DD has been saying I hate you to me for a few years now. I hate you, as far as I'm concerned, is fine. If she hates me at that moment, she's a child, she has feelings, let her express them. I think it's important for kids to see that their parents can handle an I hate you, and a whole lot more, while they are undergoing the monumental changes of adolescence. My steadfastness will provide her with a role model of strength for all the meanness she will get from other kids and a feeling of safety that nothing she can do or say will rock me. On the other hand, if she is cruel or unkind in a purposeful way, we will address it with consequences. And we do talk about how letting it loose with words can have consequences because you can't unsay things.[/quote]
