[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am continually BAFFLED by the number of parents who DO NOT stand up to their kids, and lay down rules, and god-forbid ENFORCE the rules.[/quote] +1 But clearly OP has no rules. OP I agree with an earlier poster, you haven't taught your child very good manners. DC should have known to put phone away without you even having to say anything. And if she didn't, you should have said something at the time. Not trying to be harsh here. Why didn't you say something at the time it was happening?[/quote] +2 It sounds like the teen has never been made to follow a rule before, which is why she's having an over the top reaction now. You can't randomly and inconsistently apply rules and not expect some bumps. That's said, I think you need to set your daughter up for success in the future (tell her what's expected of her) and hole the line if she doesn't follow through. In this case, don't hand the phone back to her today.[/quote]
