> They are resourceful, sneaky and relentless.
... and honest:
- they will honestly tell you that they'd be very happy to see you dead when you impose restrictions upon them (people who are older will of course possibly get into legal trouble for such a statement)
- they will tell they they wish you'd never have given birth to them (or aborted them)
- they will tell you that since they never wanted to be born, they owe you nothing

- squigz 8mo agoSounds like a kid in need of psychiatric help.
- aleph_minus_one 8mo agoYou barely ever had to deal with pubescent children? :-)
- squigz 8mo agoI mean, that's really not normal puberty stuff, but... okay.
- hunterpayne 8mo agoI raised kids. Never had to deal with anything like what is described. Sounds like someone read some questionable books on parenting, unfortunately followed the bad advice in those books and this is the result. And this entire thing is about bad parenting. Its always easier to just give the kid a tablet and go back to whatever you were doing. Its always better to actually interact with the kid. That trade-off of time is important because if you mess up when they are young, you spend a lot more time handling issues later on. That time you gained by giving them a tablet will get payed back someday, usually with interest. That's what is happening here.
