Being a loving and compassionate parent is difficult. On one hand, you have to be understanding and ‘hip’ with whatever your little one is going through; on the other, you have to set boundaries, do’s and don’ts of what is allowed – before it turns into a little, uncontrollable rapscallion that get you called in into the principle’s office every week.
Here’s a situation: you come home only to find your 13-year-old daughter shouting at your beloved nanny Abba for asking to put her dirty clothes in the hamper. Uh-oh. Do you let your oldest scot-free, take on full responsibility for young lady’s upbringing or find a fitting punishment?
The way 40-year-old mom of three handled the situation in this story, although with a heavy heart, was plain and simple: make the child tend after herself and hope she will become the Mother Mary of teenage daughters. Maybe she will finally appreciate things! Well, everything would have been fine if not for the fact that teens have a tendency to rebel and run away, seeking support from anyone who’s not their parent or a teacher (readers, they don’t like either of those when something’s not right).
Receiving an unsupportive and rather unnecessary reaction from her mother-in-law and her family of “extremely spoiled brats”, the author of the story started doubting if she and her husband weren’t too harsh with their daughter. And what is a better way to settle things than do it on the trusted ‘Am I The Jerk’ subreddit?
Here’s how the full story goes. And if you’re into family dramas like this one (we don’t judge), check this and this out.
