Tough Talk,
My son is a talented athlete and is always competing in some sport. I have always gone to his sport metes and games ever since he was little and we are so proud of him. But now as a teenager, he is now telling me and my husband that we don’t need to come to his games or competitions anymore. But then, we did miss three events and he got all bent of joint over it. Not sure what to do. We honored his request then he gets upset. What should we do TT? (Sietta, South Carolina)
Sietta,
You tell your young man, you will go where you want to go and if he doesn’t like it, there’s the door. Who does he think he is saying something like that, and then when you do what he asks, he turns around and gets in your face? You have spoiled him too much and must take immediate action to knock him into line. He is acting too big for his britches. The longer you avoid this responsibility, the worse he will become. Don’t wait a moment longer.
