also, if your kids call you for help and you deny them, they will remember that in the future when they need to call someone for help. [/quote]

Right. Next time it's pouring down rain, and the OP reminds them to wear their boots and raincoat, and they don't, and they get drenched, they won't call her for help. That actually seems like a good outcome to me.[/quote]

Ok....but what about when they are in HS and they sneak to a party that OP told them not to attend....party gets out of hand...still a good outcome that OP has her kids trained not to call her?[/quote]

I am assuming that the OP's children are smart enough to recognize the difference between "I have to get out of here because there might be big trouble any minute" and "I'm wet, and I want to get driven to school".[/quote]

Who knows/  Teens are not as smart as you think.  Anyways, , you phrased it in such a way to make it obvious!  But what if the message is "If you make a bad decision, you deal with it"?  That is what I said in my earlier post that the OP should make sure that is not the message she is sending. [/quote]
