[quote=Anonymous]My teen says mockingly sometimes, "I love you but I don't love your behavior" because that's what we have consistently told her when she was rude, disrespectful, or sassy in the past. We dealt with this around 13 a lot and DH and I simply did not tolerate it. We told her if she was being rude, offered alternative ways for her to say what she wanted or felt, and even walked away at times and told her we would not engage when she continued to behave rudely to us. We explained that we don't have to offer rides and don't have to do many of the things we do for her. She understands we are her parents, not her friends. Several years later, we have a good relationship but she understands that boundaries exist and will be enforced by both of her parents consistently. And she knows when we give her a certain look to stop it or we will deal out consequences. [/quote]
