 I've set boundaries for my two youngest kids
and they stomp all over them. I've enforced rules and they 'spit' in my face. I've given up all hope of ever having any authority with them so I'm just ignoring them for the most part and refusing their demands for rides and money and whatever... They don't consider me a 'mother' but I'll no longer be a free taxi, maid, and ATM. If they don't like it they can live with their dad (who is a lot stricter than I am)! **** this **** - I'm just living for myself and my dogs from now on. More peaceful that way...
