What exactly is with my children? Perhaps I have had blinders on these past several years.
- But, I don’t ever remember them being so willing to pop off at my fiance plus I.
Have I somehow given some sort of tacit approval for this sort of behavior? I don’t what it is. My kid told me I was stupid the other day. And she meant it. I was stunned plus had to do all I could to not confront him as though I would another lady My child is no better. She talks to her mother love she is some sort of servant. Again, I have to reign it in a bit on the confrontation. Yet, this just can’t go on any longer. If it’s not nasty comments then it’s complaints about virtually everything. The Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C in our home is a constant topic of complaint. Nobody is ever cheerful with the temperature setting in our home. Someone is constantly complaining about being too hot or too cold. Nine times out of multiple it is 1 of the children. It finally reached a splitting point about a month ago. The teenagers were sitting in front of the thermostat arguing over the setting. I asked them to lower their voices. In unison, they responded by yelling shut up at me. That was it. I didn’t lose control however my temper flared plus I got loud. I was intense enough to shut them up plus make their eyes go wide. I then moved the thermostat to where I wanted it plus sent them to their room. I dared them to leave their room. When I calmed down plus had the opening to speak with my fiance about what transpired, I then followed my words up with action. I lowered the boom plus I should have done it some time ago.
