[quote=Anonymous][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]

You clearly haven't hit the teen years. I wouldn't throw shade this early in the game.[/quote]

Wrong. I’m a teen parent; but I believe in connection and getting to the root of behavior issues, not threatening and [b]abandoning.[/b] [/quote]

It's giving a choice and riding out the consequences of that choice. You know, like the adult they will soon become? If your kid is on the therapist's couch whining about "abandonment" because they were being an ass and decided (decided!) they were going to hang back and didn't like it? You've utterly failed. Like no grit, utter snowflake and I'm a pretty sensitive Liberal. Your ay could also be interpreted as "I said my preference and my parents forced me to go against my will, they have no trust in me and don't respect me as a person."[/quote]
