[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]12 was the hardest age. Kid thinks they know everything, won't help wtih anything, only wats to do what they want to do.

Kid is 15 now, and ven they will tell you they ruined the Hawaii vacation.[/quote]

Teens can be threatened and bribed. Toddlers hands down. Teens you can also leave. Don’t want to go to Haleakala, fine stay here we’ll go without you.[/quote]

Wowee that sounds like a healthy household![/quote]

Actually it is. It is respecting their choice and not allowing them to ruin the vacation for everyone. Why is it healthier to make them go somewhere they don’t want to go? [/quote]

Teens don’t have fully developed brains, and are not known for their stellar, logical decision making. This sounds like a parenting cop out. Imagine the kid in 15 years talking to a therapist about how abandoned he felt when his parents left him behind. I teach eighth graders -typical teens want to be wanted, but they don’t want anyone to know it matters so much to them. [/quote]
