@notatrollreally I went through this but never ended up having a normal cycle naturally. When my daughter went through it, it took until 18 but that’s also when she started bc so that may have helped. With that being said, the only “issue” for my daughter and I was the irregularity. We didn’t...

@katrina2017 Same. I just want to vibe. Just do silly little side quests with my husband and not worry about money.

@manifestmktg We don’t financially reward such behavior bc for us, that’s not the message we want to send. We don’t pay our kids to behave a certain way or to do a certain thing. We don’t want our kids to associate xyz with monetary worth. With that being said, we do go out to celebrate...

@eco Of course! Best of luck to you and your family!!

@eco Completely get that! It can be hard to not see our kids as little kids. Not saying she’s grown but she is growing up. If she’s in a healthy relationship, open with y’all, and already having sex, that one step of letting him in her room isn’t going to change anything. It may seem weird, but...

@eco In that case, may I ask what is your hesitance with letting him stay in her room? Is it that you’re uncomfortable bc you weren’t raised that way? She seems very open and trustworthy. And it seems that you’re aware of their sex life.

@eco Yes ofc! My oldest is 18. She had sex for the first time at 16. She told me and her father the day it happened. She’d been with her gf since they were 14/15 years old and are still together in college:) My second oldest is 17. He had sex for the first time at 15 and told us too. He’s...

@eco Coming from a mother who lets her teens’ girlfriends sleep over in their rooms, I don’t think you’re being unreasonable at all. You’re a lot more lenient and respectful than other parents of teens. You took proactive measures via IUD and are gracious enough to let him crash. Honestly this...

@scubaoo Happened to my kid! He eventually found a passion for sports in high school but in middle school, he was very chill. Unless you’re worried about a sudden change in behavior or something, I’d let him explore the world on his own terms. Some people are outwardly super expressive, others...

@tabithakgz Might wanna make that clear lol cuz I don’t think people are understanding that

@tabithakgz I don’t think people in this sub are qualified to give medical advice based on a snippet of someone saying their teen is acting unfazed

@igottaknowjesus Same. We are pretty laidback in our parenting styles in our household and disrespect is still not tolerated.

@jen1458 It depends on how busy he is, his quality of sleep, how stressed he is, and his body. Teens have a lot of changes, physically and mentally, that can make them tired. On top of that, lots of teens are busy with school/sports/clubs/work/etc. Would it be possible to give him a weekend to...

@sparrowfeet At the same time, losing $600 is no joke. I think waiting for the teacher to reply is the best bet at this point.

@sandgroper101 Just my two cents: I wouldn’t take everything away, especially since he likes video games, etc so much. I’d also not put any financial stress on him. Part of being motivated is having hope and being rewarded. If it’s all work and no play, it’s very easy to say screw it im not...

@floodland Agreed. But again, any career can cause anxiety. Regardless of the path he chooses, he needs a way to manage his anxiety. Otherwise, he won’t be able to overcome any obstacles

@sandgroper101 Maybe I missed it, so pardon me if you’ve addressed this, but did you try helping him or offering other options (tutoring, making sure he does homework/study, etc.) before taking everything away?
