Though your spelling is terribly off, I absolutely understand you AND agree!! My heart is broken reading all these parents and the behaviors of their teens! This is NOT my opinion, but a hard fact- parents who cannot “handle” their children are the reason these children are acting out! My advice to these parents YOU MUST FIRST HELP YOURSELF BEFORE YOU CAN HELP ANYONE. Seek professional help, your kids deserve it!

Sure does sound like a lie, the window was the final straw. Tell the rest of the story Chris.

My teenager seems to blame everyone else for any issues they encounter and takes no responsibility for their actions. It can be frustrating because I constantly have to remind them to do even the simplest tasks. They’re even failing easy classes and often speak to me disrespectfully, as if they know more than I do. They go so far as to call me a failure on a regular basis and even physically threaten me when I try to enforce the rules of our home.

When we got cell phones for them, I made them sign a contract that outlined certain expectations, such as maintaining good grades, completing chores, keeping their room tidy, and staying off certain apps. Unfortunately, they’ve broken all of those agreements. And when I try to take away their phone as a consequence, they resort to physical threats against me. I’ve sought help from the school therapist, counselor, and even third-party DSS case workers, but so far, we haven’t found a solution.

What makes matters worse is that my child knows I’m physically smaller and weaker due to chronic illness. Additionally, I’ve faced job insecurities due to tech layoffs, going from one contract position to another, while they refuse to work, do chores, or improve their grades. It’s disheartening, and I’m reaching a point where I’m considering telling the caseworker to take them to a children’s home and giving up. Their behavior reminds me so much of my own mother, who exhibited similar entitlement and lack of personal responsibility.

What upsets me the most is that until high school, my child recognized that I was doing my best and wouldn’t give up on them like my own mother did. They knew I was the only family member left to raise them, and they knew I worked tirelessly to provide for them. However, once they entered high school and got their cell phone, it’s as if nothing I did was ever right, good enough, or appreciated. I’m exhausted, and my health is deteriorating day by day. I’m holding on just to ensure that my child grows up to be independent, but I’m starting to doubt if that will ever happen. I fear they’ll go through life depending on others and constantly blaming everyone around them for their lack of effort.

I fully agree. When the mental health is torture for everyone involved, and younger siblings are being affected, and there is no end in sight with the psychopath behavior, they need an alternative place to chill. And hopefully some change will happen.

It’s been a year – any changes in your kid’s behaviour, Janet?

some people get a job in McDonald’s or KFC and get into university, you can’t blame your mum, she did that definitely for a reason, if you be at least respectful, none of the parents will want ti kick kids out.

I totally agree with you

Your insane

Your totally not at fault right?

Or maybe you fail to understand that being an absent parent can cause these issues. I’ve been removed from a home at a young age beat all odds in life and still find that my parents were the majority of the issue. That tends to be the case in most situations. It’s almost always 100% the parents fault. Over medicating or not listening to what the child needs or wants out of life
