laying down the law is having mixed responses
me to 12 yr old boy: you’re grounded bc you think you can ignore me and come and go as you please and do whatever you want. Your skateboard is confiscated until you start listening to me. You’re spending the weekend catching up on homework and being with the family. Family meeting on sunday to discuss the new rules and schedule around here. Anything you want to bring up you need to write it down and ask me then
12 yr old, calm as can be: That sounds lame
Similar conversation with 13 yr old girl ended in tears, stomping around the house and slamming 3 doors in the space of 15 minutes. Oh and she’s never speaking to me again
16 yr old girl next ughhhhhhh
The youngest 2 are 9 and 7 so those convos should be less intense
My older brother arrives tonight to help handle the angry mob (aka the teenage girls)
