[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that you have to consider how you would like to be treated and treat your children that way.

So many times people act like tweens and teens are from a different planet. [b] If it were you being dropped off so early would you like it?  [/b]When you are in the nursing home, will you mind waiting in the foyer to be picked up (in your wheelchair) for over 2 hours to suit someone else?

What exactly is it that you husband is trying to teach your son?  That he better get used to getting the short stick in the family?  I just don't get these other parent's comments.  [/quote]

If it were me, I wouldn't expect someone to rearrange their days to unnecessarily drive me somewhere I could easily get to a few hours earlier when I need time to do work anyway.  But I'm 35.  If I were 16, I might be annoyed because I'd rather stay home and watch tv.  While I might know on some level that it would be better for the family for my parent to stay home and work, and not waste gas, I wouldn't necessarily care to the point that it trumped my desire to watch tv.  16 year olds can be pretty self absorbed.[/quote]
