@farmerdex Same here. We have a great relationship until I reprimand him by taking away his wifi and phone for the night. Then it’s gloves off. Lol I stay calm and refuse to get triggered by his provocation.

@farmerdex I’m sorry to hear that. It’s so frustrating. Clearly she’s going to learn the hard way. Sometimes it’s the only way. I think we are more focused on their graduation date than they are. It’s not our battle after a certain point. You can lead a horse to water….. My son and I are in...

@elenamaria_9 My son is 16 with no real l desire to drive. I have been nagging him to study and get him temporary permit. I’m a single mom with zero help from the dad. I cannot afford the insurance premiums so I’m not pushing too hard right now. After reading this I think I’ll lay off the...

@joppyldw Thank you. I’m considering a tutor in the fall for my son.

@sunnyhope My in-laws call my 16 year old son “awkward” because he doesn’t talk their ear off and he’s reserved (an introvert). I cringe when I hear that word. It’s so outdated and ignorant. The popular, loud kids in high school are usually the jerks and mean girls. High school is going to...
