Today, my 12 and 14 year olds told me they'll be doing whatever they like from now on and there will be no rules or bedtime, otherwise they'll tell their teachers that my husband and I abuse them. Where did I go wrong? FML

You should tell them, that if they say that, they will be taken away from you, and placed in foster care, where there will be rules, bedtimes and chores they're trying to escape.

Something like this happened to my uncle. His son (my cousin) called the cops on him for telling him to study, saying he hurt him. He had to live with us for a couple days. It's sad because now he's too afraid to discipline his youngest one now because if something is brought to the cops again it could get his kids taken away from him.

There are several great ideas here. I think the Military School is probably the best as a last resort, or if this is a ongoing sort of thing you have had to deal with, with your kids. I mean if thats it, and youve had it & your at the risk of being damn miserable yourslef because of them..

then send them off for a year and you and your husband take a break. If you generaly like your kids and wsnt them nesr but need a lesson learned, this what my dad and step mom did to my step brother, back in the day, mid 80's punishment. They took all toys away.

When he still hadnt learned after a few weeks, my dad took his door off and he had no privacy. That got him, no jacking off. You dont knowhowmuch you love your bedroom door, till its gone. Also, if they both have there own room, but them both in the biggest room & you take the other for yourself

I would have laughed out loud in their faces. As others have pointed out, you could remind them of the foster care system. This is an important moment in their life, though I would bet that there are already problems. I'd spend more time parenting and less time on line.

Calling their teachers and asking the teachers what, exactly, they are telling the kids about familial abuse might be a good first step. Pulling the kids out of school (with no advance warning to the kids) might be a good second step if the teachers don't give a satisfactory answer. You don't want them in a place where the people in authority are filling their heads with this kind of nonsense.

Hmm !! In my place we don't have all this child abuse nonsense rules, if you mess up you get stupidly whooped by your parents, infact if you try this kinda shii on your parents , the cops will join in whooping your ass for your parents.

Meanwhile I was abused for two years and had multiple bones broken and CPS wouldn't do shit. The system is so ****** up.
