[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never send my child to bed without support. Or dinner either. Not eating before bedtime can disrupt sleep. But that's me.[/quote]

Oh please. Your precious snowflake. Maybe a night without food or good sleep would get the eye rolls to stop. Kids walk all over parents these days. [/quote]

God, I'm so sick of people like you.  Just because some people choose to parent in a manner other than a prison warden doesn't mean a parent is getting walked over or that they are catering to a "snowflake."  And, here's a newsflash: Your prison tactics don't always were.  My parents were uber strict.  I didn't walk all over them.  But, I didn't respect them (b/c they didn't respect me).

Frankly, I would not have taken away dinner.  What's the lesson?  Disobey = you won't be fed.  Dumb.  I would have sent her to her room until dinner.  Then delivered what I was taking away -something that mattered to her (whatever her important "currency" is - during dinner.  For every sassy remark, she'd get something else taken away.  After dinner, she goes to her room and stays there.  If that's being walked over, so be it.  But, it works in our house.[/quote]

Don't 12/13yr olds want to be in their room away from their parents after a fight?  Sounds like a win win for your kids.  Glad it works.

Oh and calling other parents who aren't pushovers like you, prison wardens, is doing exactly what you said you were annoyed with.  I guess people can be sick of you being judgmental too.  :roll: [/quote]
