Yuck called dh to talk about ss14 disrespect. He is supposed to be going to tutoring after school starting today. He had crappy grades, he is very slow even here very slow. He is at his own pace for everything. He does NOT rush for anything or anyone. So this morning he was lagging behind and yuck was telling him to get a move on and he told her "I will not be hungry just b/c you want me to hurry and rush around." "And I will not be going to tutoring today or any day I don;t need it so just shut up" :jawdrop:

He does not do that here. EVER! Dh was already going to have a talk with him about his grades now it will be the disrespect.However dh and I talked about it and the reason they think they can talk to yuck like that is b/c she gives them all adult status! Enough said!

So what CAN we do about it?? I'm thinking not a whole lot of anything. Any advise?? Thanks

LOL that was me! Too funny... Biggrin I know I told her the same thing when I talked to her that day. The dad is not there he can't and the bm has to be able to control her kids instead of making the dad out to be the bad guy not fair to him,.

That is what I told him. He still wants to talk to him about his grades which was planned for a couple days now when dh found out his grades. But he told me he wanted to talk to him about his disrespect to his mom. I did tell him several times that all he could do was talk but it doesn't mean it will do any good as yuck has to BE A PARENT in her home. Thanks

Exactly.
IMO your kids can respect you or not. They don't wake up one day and begin respecting you, it has to grow.
Because of where I work I see it both ways. You can respect your kids, guide and discipline them and help them grow to respect you. Or you can jump straight to treating them like adults without coaching them on what respect looks/feels like.

Dh did tell yuck that he doesn't care about her feelings or anything but he doesn't like the fact that his son is disrespecting others. His way of thinking is that it starts with mom then other people and he doesn't want it to go any further. I understand that. But how much can he REALLY do if he doens;t live with us and yuck is continuing her adult status and screaming he is disrespecting her??
