@josephtheprotector I'm sorry, if that's your way and it' works fair play to you.
I have no shame in saying my sons were intimidated by me when they was younger as teenagers, they took the pee sometimes with not helping and I was a single mum. They disrespected me (or tried to), and then I clamped down and they
themselves. My older sons are now 27, 24 and 21. All of them have good jobs, eldest 2 are policemen and 3rd one is a prison officer, all are well rounded levelled headed polite men. We have a good relationship and they don't hate the fact they felt intimidated by me at times when teenagers. What works for you doesn't work for everyone.

! Your comment is as useful as a chocolate kettle hen! Poor woman feels like she's drowning in everything and you want to push her further down@josephtheprotector I think you've deliberately chosen to take her post the wrong way just to make her feel like sh*t and it's really unnecessary... If you read between the lines it's fairly obvious she's at the end of her tether and she just means they have no respect for her.... I doubt she wants them to be petrified of her! I also doubt she's calling them lazy and entitled to their face, but tbh so what if she is... If they are being lazy and entitled maybe they *do* need to be told! You've proper stretched what she said to make it sound like she's practically abusing the kids also I love it when people say "have a conversation" like they think the parent hasn't tried doing that a hundred times!

my teen daughter invisible now ? Damn she will be offended! Anyhow sorry how ever you was raised but some kids especially ones that are disrespecting their parents and house, like this woman has said, need discipline simple.

@josephtheprotector I have 4 teenagers. Well 3 are in their 20's now. 1 still 19 and one about to hit 13. I'd say I'm pretty experienced in the raising teenager department. You look not long out of your teens yourself. I am sorry if you wasn't raised right or the way you think you should be raised. Every child /teen is different. My sons were intimidated by me and I couldn't give a flying what others opinions are of that as I know I raised them the right way by my own standards and I would never tell anyone else their way is wrong. What works for them is all good. But if it doesn't work.. Which the OP was asking for help then maybe they need to take a different approach.
My sons 3 of them now men are bloody good well rounded men with a strong head on their shoulders. We laugh about how I intimidated them now and how they buckled down when I lost my, when they pushed me too far. I'd rather be telling this story then telling the story of my sons being absolutely ar£whole men, with no respect and walking around d with a chip on their shoulder. Which I see alot of boys /men nowadays.
When you have raised teenagers and come out the other side, as you do your approach and it's worked, then I will take my hat off to you and applaud you and be happy that it worked.. But believe me it DOES NOT work for everyone!
That's all I have else to say on this.
