@mcdiggety My teenager lived in hoodies and leggings from 13-19 (current) They will survive and be cold.. it’s that simple. Unless they are waiting for the bus for an hour.. just let this battle go. Make sure they have lots of fashionable (to them) thicker hoodies or hooded zip sweatshirts…...

@monae You ARE doing your best. Please don’t take my words as attacks. I see you in this thread. You are doing the damn thing. Just keep pushing.

@loverofgod33 I don’t think my kid even knew where hers was 😂

@monae You can be a great and loving parent and a child can still have trauma from only having one parent. This is not a blame that I’m putting on you. This is just a reality, so how was your therapist helping you all work through that? To add to that are you in therapy as well? And are you in...

@elenamaria_9 No more car. It’s that simple. He’s not respecting the laws or safety of others. School bus or biking or walking. Those are his options. 35 miles over the speed limit is reckless op. I will be shocked if the court doesn’t take away his license.

@megan1969 You answered your own problem In the last few sentences. Follow through and consistency are all that’s gonna work. He’s a teenager. Talk to him. It’s a pandemic. Talk to him. Anger will not solve anything. He’s clearly feelin some crap. Watch some videos on active listening...

@chang I did reply to this but for some reason it made it a new comment.. /silly reddit

@chang So I read a great article about chores and since we are new parents to a child who came from a hoarding/disgusting house- she has zero idea on how often chores need to be done to keep up with a house. I am by far not a great example of a house keeper and struggle daily but even I have...

@chang She does two chores a day-that’s it. The importance of the chores are more long term learning skills. My kids a total slob. She pours a glass of milk splashes it s all over the counter and walks away. If I find it- I go get her and make he wipe it up immediately. If she doesn’t do...
