@joeawilliams123 Luckily my daughter only ever asks for copious amounts of fruit of all kinds so I just buy it. But, I would also buy specific junk food if she wanted it. I don't know. She's an only child, though. Maybe she's spoiled.

@ernesjohnson My older brother and I have never had anything in common and have never gotten along. As adults we see each other on holidays and text happy birthday. That's it. My younger sister, who I once had a very close relationship with, is practically estranged now because of her...

@derek1995 Yeah, I know. Being endlessly selfless is frustrating though.

@veronicajohn I feel you. That's how my 15 year old was about carving a pumpkin this year. I tried hard to have a light-hearted good time and both she and my husband were brats. It's because I forced it, though. I should've just done it when they wanted to. But, I was like, why doesn't what...

@mcdiggety Yes. My daughter is 15 and walks to school in 30 degree weather. For once, this morning, she actually wore her winter jacket and I was so relieved! The reason she doesn't bring it it because they no longer use lockers at her school so she has to carry it around with her all day...

@gmeyers1944 I think it's just a losing battle. But, if you want to take that route, good luck and god speed. It's going to be world war III in your house.

@lakatide Telling your daughter to pack her shit in a garbage bag and take a pregnancy test is not "approachable." Give her condoms. But, overall, I'm sorry it's so difficult right now. Hang in there.

@jared1991 You're immature.

@abovethewaves I would have a fucking meltdown if my daughter called me a bitch. I've always stressed to her since she was born that she is not to swear in front of me or other adults and I consider it disrespectful. She's 14 now. I've told her, I know you swear, swear it up with your...

@dadon Are you bigger than her? To be honest, I'm a big woman and I think I would pull her aside, get her alone, and tell her if she ever lays a hand on my son again for the rest of her natural life I will break my foot off in her ass. But, that's probably the wrong advice. Besides, what if...

@proangel I feel you. My daughter is 14 also but she's been individuating since she was around 11. But, it's been getting better. Now when she goes to bed I say "I looove you" down the stairs and she says, "Eww" or something to that effect. But, I take it to mean, I love you, too. :) I...

@scottwilson My 15 year old makes herself scrambled eggs and rice regularly. She'll make herself mac and cheese. She'll heat up pre-made lasagna. She'll bake cookies and brownies. She makes herself ramen and canned soup. Once in a great while she'll put together a fruit salad. She also...

@ipurr2 I have a brother and a sister. My brother is 5 1/2 years older and we never got along very well and have nothing in common at all. My sister was my best friends until our 30's when her current wife completed her brainwashing. In the past several years she has been almost entirely...

@carlosbroch I think at 17 he should fail or pass on his own. He has to deal with the consequences of his actions or lack thereof. Don't limit his activities. Just tell him he is responsible for it all and encourage him not overschedule himself. He'll be going to college soon and he'll have...

@leryc Grades don't matter. He just needs the diploma. Assuming he's not interested in college.

@jfp75 I feel you. Teenagers are SO INCONSIDERATE and self-centered. It's mind-boggling sometimes.

@sandgroper101 It makes sense not to send him on the band trip since he doesn't know the songs. He should drop out of band if he's not interested in it.

@convictionofgod My 15 year old will OFTEN turn her nose up at what I'm cooking now. I tell her that she can make herself pasta or eggs. Basically, she's on her own if she doesn't want to eat what I'm cooking. Occasionally, if it's convenient I can make her something at the same time. She...

@katrina2017 And if you go with intuitive eating, no foods or good or bad. They're just food.

@deanerenata32 You didn't do anything wrong.
