[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my house growing up, children were assumed guilty/capable unless proven otherwise.  That's the problem with parents nowadays.

They want to be friends at the wrong time.  You are tough and they'll thank you for it later.  They want boundaries and it's their job as teens to rebel--but they feel safe when somebody is being hard.

My brother was impossible growing up.  He fought my parents tooth and nail and now he is the closest to them as an adult.[/quote]

I'm sorry, but it's crazy to treat every kid like they're guilty.  That's like saying every husband is an adulterer and should be treated that way.  Every employee is a thief and should be treated that way.

If you think you need to create a police state in your home, you have already lost the battle.  Pull down the judgement barrier and talk to your kids.  I'll bet a lot of them are scared, but they're not going to tell you that while you're rifling through their backpack.

Maybe start by telling them YOU are scared.  Stop telling them what you [i]think [/i]you know about them, or their friends, or other parents as if it's fact.[/quote]
