kids

[69-johny-rs-07]

I've tried to be the same with my kids, but parents have to agree with each other on how they handle their kids when faced with bad behaviour, but my wife is very passive about it, so the kids side with her. My daughter will do a bit of helping now and again but my son who gets a lot of fuss by his mother won't do a thing to help.....not even dry a few dishes.


He won't be seen to show any interest in it, but is interested on how much it is worth.


He can't understand it all.

100% same as me

Mine just run riot around the house (5 and 7) Make them tidy up, if not, then ban them from computer games etc......... Not looking forward to the teenage years to come.....

[vinny]

same as kev, mine are 5 and 9 and you can only hope you bring them up properly.
i always make sure they are polite, say please and thank you and treating others with respect.
but not looking forward to the teenage years

but at the end of the day you love them to bits are would do anything for them and have tried to explain that whatever they do or how bad it is i will always be there for them and that they can always come to us if they have a problem.

2 eldest have left school and still live at home, they have quietened down a bit and respect their hard earned, whereas when at school it just seemed it was a throw away society..if it broke it got replaced.
Daughter leaves school next year, at the moment its want want want, sometimes the house feels like a B&B

Alot of teenage drinking doesnt help and theres no respect nowadays.

not taking it for granted

can't believe that this goes on still want want want

my 11 year old knows the value of money because she earns her pocket money and she knows the difference between wants and needs

basically if you want it but don't need it then don't buy it if you want and need it then buy it but it comes out of her money. she recently paid for her trip to the home land (wales) and still managed to buy her ds game. my 5 year old twins don't know about money yet but if they get in trouble at school or don't do as they are told they know what the consequences will be, daddy going red in the face and the voice erupts, only once in their lives and i am talking all three have i ever smacked them and needless to say once was enough, every thing has a consequence and the earlier they learn that the better .our knowledge is only a source for them to learn off not a reason for doing it for them..

if it breaks i will try and fix it for them but they will understand that i had to stop what i was doing to right their wrong. sorry for the ranting but it makes me angry when they just expect..

i do check the missus car only cause i nick it every now and then but she pays for the servicing etc

my daughter is 11 and she really is an angel.never ever have a problem with her.in fact she is so good she gets on my nerves sometimes!my 14 year old son though is a right lazy b++++rd.not interested in the car or DIY or anything practical.i fight or bribe to make him do things and he very talented at sport but i have to push him a bit otherwise he`ll watch tv all day.saying that though his mother thinks he is wonderful and i am a bit of a grumpy sod

[fox2fox]

Something is so wrong when teachers have to face this:

Not saying he was right to do this but kids will push you to the edge and beyond if they can without sparing one single thought for the victim.
