[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The replies of ...show them by stopping doing the things for them that will show them!!...all that does is teach them this is an unsafe topic that will be met with hostility. They won't bring it up again but their opinion probably won't change. Their friends all have the same things done for them mostly with parents who both work. It doesn't answer their question what do you do all day while they're at school and why don't you have a job. Tell them what you do all day (I do a lot of things for our family that some families outsource could be an answer...I volunteer could be an answer...and guess what an answer could be I go to the gym every day which I really value...it's fine!) Explain why for your family this makes sense and why you don't have a job. I'm sure there are real and good reasons.[/quote] These teens did not make their comments with curiosity and thoughtfulness about how their mother spends their day. They were very purposefully insulting. Frankly, I think they could stand to learn that mean rude comments should stay in your head. Insults don’t need a “safe space.”[/quote]
