What is with teenagers today? I recently had the pleasure of dealing with three that I would have liked to pulled the car over and let them out. Right then and there. And told them to walk there attitudes off. One is mine, the other two not mine. Mine is not getting away with this crap. Rudeness. I have had enough of it. They act like we owe them, that they should have every damn thing served to them on a platter. What I will not tolerate is "being told" what to do and how to do it. What I will not tolerate is to have an attitude while I drive your butt to school each and every day and have you complain the whole way and then not bother to say thankyou, goodbye or kiss my ass. All the while I have a stupid smile on my face because I am biting my tongue not to unleash on mine and the two others that are friends. They think they all come from royality. I have news for mine at least. And the other two...the next time I drive them to school and wish them a merry day, and they cannot even thank me for the ride or say goodbye will not get in my car again.

Oh my Susan. How old are the girls? LOL I have a 19 soon to be 20 and an 11 yr old (girls). Now the 19 yr old is so so but she can get an attitude. My 11 yr. holy crap if I had talked to my parents like that I would have been knocked across the room. Part of this I totally take blame for because I swore I would not raise my kids the way I was raised. I would let them have some sort of "voice". Boy has that backfired!!
I will say this though your incident in the car.... yea I would have said something and if they continued I would have kicked them all out at least a few blocks from the school and made them walk the rest of the way.
My kids are mouthy with me sometimes but I NEVER bite my tongue on the issue. I dont care if your friends are there or not.
Hope the next car ride turns out better :)

15 Armywife. Fifteen. I have cooled down some. Part of it is my fault. She is a princess and I have allowed it to some point. Her father gets angry with me, because he feels I have overcompensated for deployments and his non involvement over the years. Not that I blame him. I have truly supported his career and when the military calls, you gotta do what you gotta do. I guess what angers me, is that she is a sweet child, has had many advantages that most kids do not have, has traveled everywhere for fun and vacation. Has a nice home, dresses nice and does without very little. We ask in return for respect, good grades (she has been a straight A student until recently), keep her room clean (which is lacking most days), babysit for spending money and so on. I do not think that is too much. Her attitude has chilled since that day because I laid it all out. She thinks she is getting some sports car when she turns 16...HA! She can dream on. Reality is I have allowed her to treat me like her personal doormat/servant and that has to change now.
