2 months agoI've Always Known What Kind of Person My Mother Is. Unfortunately, My 3-Year-Old Has Figured It Out, Too.
It's easy to get caught up in what we believe we owe our parents. But we shouldn't forget what we owe ourselves, or our children. It's great that your child was able to communicate her discomfort to you. She has let you know that she 'really, really' doesn't want to visit your mom. And now I think she needs you to pay attention to those things.

Setting firm boundaries with children during mealtime, even when they demand alternatives, teaches important lessons and should not be compromised by parental pressure or emotional manipulation.

2 months agoMy Brother Lives on a Lake. What He Lets His Kids Do There Is Putting Them in Grave Danger.
As the father of kids who are right about those ages, I can concur that it's probably not a great idea for my kids to go down to the dock unsupervised even though they can swim and won't jump in or get pulled in by some giant man-eating horseshoe crab. If it were my kids, I would never leave them alone for more than five minutes.

5 months agoDear Abby: My teenage stepdaughter is queen of the castle
I get it. However, she continues to be disrespectful to me and has made him choose sides in disagreements. I've always tried to be neutral in situations. We all live together, but Amber and I just don't get along. She doesn't respect her father at all. When I have tried to make him realize it or support him when she's being unruly, I am turned into the bad guy.

7 months agoOur Friends' Kid Is a Real Piece of Work. It's Really Affecting Our Friendship.
My close friends have several kids who are generally "OK" as kids. I've had some fun conversations with the kids as they've grown but my issue is one of the kids ("Alex") was babied (parents acknowledged this) and her behavior has really gotten out of hand. Think weaponized incompetence, neediness, unhelpful most of the time accompanied by extreme attitude and yelling at the parents when asked to do something she doesn't want to do, often relies on their other siblings to do things for them-and she's the oldest!
