my 11 year old said to me yesterday during a normal conversation " well, you are not gonna be the boss of me when I'm 16". ... I felt so disrespected and hurt . besides that she is been acting really irresponsible and unorganized. I decided to not let her have her own room anymore and give it to my son, I'll be letting her share room with her 3 year old sister and not going to let her join a dance club she wants to be part of at school. I want her to only focus in school and think about what she's done. when she is older and more humble I'll give her a room if we are not living here and when she acts better I'll let her join after school activities. I'm I being too hard on her? I just want her to learn what she did is wrong and she has to earn things to have them. she is not gonna act like a 5 year old and have big kids things. I want to put a stop to this behavior cause I don't want to imagine how she's going to act when she is a teenager.
yes she's right I find myself saying the same lines my mother used with me. makes me feel old sometimes. but my mother in law said this is just the beginning. lol @maygi0221
lol no problem .. I'm going to be first time mom and my mom says I'm going to be worst than her I'm like that's mean .
lol. and I sure transformed myself last night. and she had an automatic smack. I told her being 16 and being 11 is the same thing when it comes to me "BEING THE BOSS". thanks hun @maygi0221
oh Lord your doing great , my mother would of kill me of a said that she will be like 16 really you don't know how to clean your butt and your thinking like that . Kids these days will never know what's a real punishment. till they see de devil in mama's eyes .. your doing great hun keep it up.💪💪
thanks hun. hopefully she will understand why I'm this way when she is older. @macdeddy05
totally agree with you guys. and yes she knows better about chores. that part I give it to her, she can clean the kitchen really good and I give her different chores every day
I agree with your plan now and days you have to be stricter or they will try and walk all over you. If she already has the mindset at 16 she can do whatever you need to start handeling that now @momtobeagain
I didn't have a phone till high school lol but then again u learn with every child so my sis is the 2nd oldest got a phone when I did she was in 8th grade. and the sports activity none of my siblings joined anything so idk I hope my kids will. but us 5 children worked for what we got by chores ect. behavior grades
this little girl has her own room with wifi, cable tv, a phone and a tablet. and everything she needs. I took the phone away weeks ago cause she lost it, then found it. she has that phone cause her father gave it to her cause he lives in another state and for them to communicate. I wouldn't buy her one. she is all about the looks and what "everyone " does. I know is also her age but I feel she needs to slow down. @datnavajogirl @mrs.n2014
yes. us mothers want to give everything to our kids but how can I just give her all that if she don't deserve it. I don't want her to think she HAS to have everything. I want her to learn to appreciate things and people. @mrs.n2014
she joined field hockey and made me buy her the shoes and then said she didn't like it cause it's boring and a lot of work. she wants the dance cause it's fun and only one day at week. and every time she joins something ends up quiting @datnavajogirl
Yes sadly true 😂😂😂😂
