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.

Take away all their electronics, cell phone, games, and trendy clothes. Replace them with plain clothes from the thrift store. Show them their bare rooms and explain CPS won't do a thing as long as you provide them with a minimum of food, shelter, and clothing. Also show them the RCW listing the consequences of knowingly filing a false report of abuse.

basically by letting them control you. You're the parent. Stop pitying yourself and stand firm on your rules before they become self entitled pukes that are a neusense for the rest of the world instead of just you.

My little sister made a comment about doing something like this once. My parents just shrugged it off and said, "ok, cool. When you get placed in a foster home with actually abusive parents, you'll wish you still lived with us." My sister shut up after that.

Personally, I think most of the younger generations, including my own, are spoiled brats given too much coddling and therapy for things that aren't problems (ADD/ADHD - To clarify, I am not saying these things don't exist, nor that they are non issues. However, children who just want to play and be children are frequently diagnosed and given treatment for basically being children). More discipline and restriction would do wonders for stopping certain behaviors.
