What do you argue over the most with your kids?

I have a love hate relationship with school where my kids are concerned. Love them going but hate the fight over homework and grades. Today I’m the worst mother on earth for grounding my son over the weekend. 2 weeks in and he’s failing health plus has a D in science. 😒😒😒

Putting her toys away.

She's tired
She cant do them all by herself
She's little
She's still a baby


She's 4.

How do you fail health? I would ground him too.
LittleBittyPretty1 · 46-50, F
Lol right?! Thank you@SW-User

You are not a bad mom for grounding your son. I have grounded our two before. I would just make sure he uses that time to recover his grades.

Yup. That was our intent @Lynn1976

Mine are both adults entering the home stretches for their bachelor’s degrees. My role is strictly that of friend and advisor at this stage. For the most part, I just stay out of the way and let them solve their own problems, and if I find out about it, they usually tell me after they’ve come up with the solution.

I’m so ready to be there! Congrats on great kids @SW-User

My goal was always that they should be solving their own problems by 18, and it started by allowing them to own the consequences when they messed up or made bad decisions. It wasn’t always pretty, but it worked. @LittleBittyPretty1

I don't have kids, but my close friend does and she fights with her 12 year old daughter about a phone: the daughter wants her own cell phone but she says her daughter is way too immature for one.

Cleaning up after herself. 🤦🏻‍♀️

LittleBittyPretty1 · 46-50, F
Ugh no bueno @melbeacher

@LittleBittyPretty1 I know. He is 15 and I keep telling him that it is affecting his brain development.
