we're going to go thru a diff phase...
if we show too much love to them, we will be termed as naggy...
if we don't ask too much about them, they say we don't care and ignore them...
if we treat them as young adult, they say we are unfair to them cos they are still kids.. :slapshead:
it seems that we used to see parents mood in the past.. but now, it's reverse... :faint: -
Triple Js:
It's a period of adjustment on both sides, at least that's what I've told my teens. With consideration and accommodation on both sides, it can be managed without too much confrontation. One important thing I told my kids is that they are free to tell me it they feel I'm too naggy or treating them as little kids or asking too much of them, but they must tell me politely and without anger, and they must also hear my side of the story. On my part, I try to take note of what they say and not get angry, and adjust how I treat them if it's reasonable. I also allow them to tell me when they need to retreat into their 'hole' for a while and not require them to do everything according to my timetable (like I did when they were little). And one rule in our family is that everyone needs to inform the rest when activities impact the others - like meals (they must tell me in advance if they will be in or out or what time they need to eat), outings (we tell them in advance when there are gatherings where there presence is required) etc. It's worked so far.we're going to go thru a diff phase...

I do not allow my hubby to say any vulgarity as well. I remember I used to smack him on his arm when he said any vulgarities. But there was once I gently slapped him on his face when he said the F word while complaining about his colleagues. We were at amk hub. I over reacted
same here, all i can police is when they're home. at school, how much is being used, i won't know until i get a call from school, i guess.Jennifer:
I do not allow my boys to use the phrase.
Hubby pretended to be angry and warned me never to slap him in public
