I swear I hate teens.....

[letusbuyyourcar]

I agree with you about that one,I'd never want them to fear me.. I should be a safe place and a person for them to trust. They just piss me off wolfmanrogers.. it's tough with all the teens man.. they're 13 & try to talk/act like they're 23 sometimes..

Okay well teens and preteens ain't known for their deductive reasoning or their ability to think/act logically. That's why teens and preteens are emotionally driven a lot like... wait for it now... Women. So if logic and reasoning are obviously out the window then you have to work with what you have. I don't WANT my kids to fear me either. But I never had to do that because mine weren't mouthy brats. But if they HAD BEEN I would have had no problem with that course of action.
Now if this really is "The stupidest **** ever" then that response tells me that some of y'all never had your asses whipped by a parent. Because THAT IS the fear part I was talking about. That's the part that kept a LOT of us from doing stupid juvenile delinquent type **** when we were kids. Time Out was NOT a thing when I grew up. Sure being grounded might have been for SOME kids but not me. And while it may be frowned upon these days I see lots and lots of **** kids that really need it. Say whatever you will but fear and pain or the potential for it IS a motivator for young skulls full of mush.

Well, teenagers tend to get mouthy and disrespectful and generally pushing the boundaries of what's allowed.

They want to see what they can get away with-- at home with their parents,

with school officials and teachers,

and out in public concerning the laws laws about shoplifting, laws about loitering, laws about smoking pot & underage drinking...etc.

They need to be reminded of those boundaries and the very uncomfortable consequences of crossing a boundary.

I've seen videos of public school kids beating a teacher for taking away a damn Nintendo or PSP. I'm talking about knocked the **** out. In another video a stupid hood rat bitch pepper sprayed the teacher for taking her phone. And after she did it she was still going " Gim'my phone Gim'my phone..." Then she sprayed him AGAIN. And she had no clue whatsoever that she had just did an agg assault on a teacher. There ARE plenty of **** show dumpster fire kids out there now who are pretty much textbook sociopaths. They have no concern or empathy for others. It's all about immediate gratification, clicks likes and being Instagram famous. Everything they worship is shallow superficial bull****. Mostly because there was obviously nobody at home to teach them any different OR tighten their asses up when they needed it. And now they're let loose on society.
The proof is all over YouTube.

It also motivates them to hide things from their parents. Great work.

In my opinion, which isn't worth much. Females are the worst to deal with. Now that said, you don't have to yell. But you do have to be firm. When you say something, enforce it. It's your house, you're rules. You will butt heads. Just be firm. Do what you must to keep order in your home. You're the man of your house. You work to pay the bills, it's your rules. Simple as that. They don't have to like it, but you must keep the peace in your home. Otherwise you'll go insane

You don't have to concern yourself with MY work. Mine are grown and responsible for their own actions. If you disagree with my posts or have any problem with it at all there is always the blocking feature.

I had to pick my own switch and now ya can't because DFCS gets called.

And yet DFACS always seems to let the REAL abuse cases somehow slip through the cracks. How many recent stories have we seen about kids dying at the hands of ****bag parents? There was one just last year here in Houston Co by a couple of damn meth freaks in an RV. The toddler was pretty much beaten to death in the RV right there in the Buccee's parking lot. And of course they had a history...

My daughter could be pretty mouthy starting around age 12. I kept my cool with her, listened to what she was saying because most likely there was an underlying reason that needed to be reasoned out. Eventually she learned being a brat was not the way to be heard. There were tears, stomping teenage feet, and punishment, cruel and unusual according to her at the time. Fast forward as an adult she said that I was a good dad because I listened and talked to her, wasn't judgmental, and always protected her.

Be patient and reasonable this is just a phase they are going through dragging you through hell along the way. They should outgrow this before you die.

Blocking people is for the weak willed.

One of my bosses bought a Brita water filter pitcher because he got tired of all the half empty water bottles all over the house. I should mention he has two boys. So last week he got home during one of the 100°+ days and went to the fridge to get water. Of course the pitcher wasn't in there. It also wasn't in the dish washer or anywhere in the kitchen. So immediately he assumed correctly that it was in the 17 year old's room. Yeah on his desk EMPTY and the kid was gaming with headphones on and face timing some other zit face jerk off. Then he had the balls to say "I wanted water. What's the problem?" I think boss told him " Yeah so did three other people in this ****ing house!"
That story pissed ME off and not only is it not my kid but I wasn't even there. And that's a good thing because I told boss that at that point I would have full body tackled his ass out of the chair and busted the pitcher on his head. After that I would have told him if he had ANY problem with it at all to pack his **** and call DFACS.
My last youngun turned 18 yesterday. She's never been bad at all or disrespectful. Admittedly she HAS had her share of just not thinking about everyone else in the house. But given her track record I try to let that slide. I think part of her not being smart mouthed and bitchy is from being home schooled. She's been able to avoid exposure to a good many plain old **** kids that need public school as a daycare.

That's right. All in how you're raised. I mean you'll have the occasional instances.
