[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents gave me all that and more and I still spoke like that, regularly, while I lived at home. Locked horns on everything. I'm 34 now and my parents are my best friends and the greatest people I have ever known. Just take the long view, OP![/quote]

Similar, except I am 40 and have a great relationship with my parents. I was a class A asshole at 15, then late 17/early 18. My parents still talk about how I came back from study abroad when I was 20 as a new, likeable person. Yes, they paid for study abroad too and I became a self-sufficient adult. Shocking.

My DH was apparently (per MIL and DH) a wonderful, non-asshole teen, and has a much more distant relationship with his folks.

It really all depends. [/quote]

maybe you and dh grew up in different cultures - different cultures have different standards for what the adult child-parent relationship should look like.[/quote]

Why all these excuses?  I would never speak to my parents like that without some serious provocation.  Op, something must be going on since you said older child did poorly in college.  I would not send my kid to an expensive 4 year college or ever buy them a new car especially if she acted like you described.you take a stand now or just suffer the consequences of having your kids treat you and your wife like doirmats.[/quote]

So to sum up, you never spoke like this to your parents, but you mention no teens YOU are raising, correct? If you have a teen, you would have written "my teen never speaks to me like that." Your post is useless and please indulge us and tell us how old are your kids/kid.[/quote]
