[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a conversation with her and set some boundaries for communication and respect. Tie her gas/fun money and expenses to her following through to commitments. Tell her you don't want to get to a place where you cut her off at 18 and instead only invest in her kinder and more respectful siblings. [/quote] Threatening to cut a kid off to get them to do more chores is a horrible way to parent. [/quote] Having a conversation about expectations and consequences is not “threatening.” What do you propose instead?[/quote] That consequences match the conduct. Threatening not to pay for college because of some minor annoyances the summer after senior year is crazy behavior. If you have parented sanely up until now, you already should have tools in your toolbox to handle this. [/quote]
