[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Explain to them, when you are rude and disrespectful, it’s difficult for me to do nice things for you (rides, buy favorite snacks, fund an outing, prepare/buy food for a friend get together). Sometimes you need to spell it out for kids.[/quote] This. I just explained to my kids I’m a human and I have feeling. They aren’t sociopaths so while they don’t immediately and joyfully hang out with me they try to be nice. We work to find common things we like. I’m NEVER asking my kids to run errands, but they may go for a hike/walk or go hit golf balls or watch a movie.[/quote] My girls like running errands, especially if it’s just me and one of them. Not every single time, but they will often choose to go and it usually results in some nice conversations. [/quote]
