[quote=Anonymous]I don't react to every episode of disrespectful behavior from my teens (14 and 17) because it is normal for them to act this way. I know it, they know it and well all know that no one really enjoys it. I prefer to just distract them from whatever is making them grumpy and snarly (if possible) and let them know that it's not appreciated if they keep it up for days and days on end. They appreciate being given some space to be grumpy in their own homes and I see no reason to believe that it is going to lead them to permanently disrespect me. The 14 year old is just starting it and the 17 year old is hopefully nearing the end of it and becoming a pleasant person. [/quote]
