My teenager gets taste of her own medicine
In short, tired of dealing with her tantrums and refusal to take responsibility, I decided to mirror her behavior. I spent my days sleeping and watching Netflix, leaving her to fend for herself. I even attended her teacher meeting in pajamas. I even dropped her off late to her orchestra concert, resulting in her being asked to sit out, which is going to dent her grades. I informed her that I'm quitting my job, and we'll have to move to a smaller rented place next year due to financial constraints. While things have been surprisingly peaceful for the past week, I'm concerned about sustaining this approach and fear she might revert to her old habits. HHTC: 630K+ paper money
Yes forcing your daughter to grow up by acting like a child yourself always works. 🙄 Best parent of the year.
I mean... she's taking it to the next level, but it can be effective to do this every now and then to get your kids to recognize the privileges they have. Not every parent can afford to drive kids to extracurriculars. Those kids don't get to sign up for orchestra.
Please be satire
She’ll learn in time
Op, did it work? I'd like to be open minded to the possibility given that you know your daughter best. Let us know.
Lady u must not be very bright at what you do. Like seriously you thought this was a good idea?
Who said OP was a lady? Lol
Well done
Parents are called parents because they do not behave like children. OP I recommend apologizing to your daughter. Even if her tantrums and behavior were terrible, you need to be a role model as well as discipline her (in a positive way) to be better.
Role models = pushovers in your world, eh? Absolutely not. Apologize for what?
Perhaps not apologize but imo OP should let the daughter know that what he/she did was bad parenting. If OP doesn’t do this then the daughter might think that’s something she could do to her children.
I don't know about others, but this just made my day. I think we would be friends 😀
She’s plotting how to get away from you after college and you will always wonder why she doesn’t want to see you. Future no contact relationship in the making
Oh please. This has gone on for 1 week. Not her whole life. Chill out, fear mongerer
Imagine being a grown ass adult beefing with your daughter by having a competition on who can be the most immature and irresponsible
No need to imagine. OP is already doing that.
