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.

Grounded and if they do then CPS will show up find nothing wrong and go away so no big deal

Tell them ok, but they will have to wash their own clothes and makr their own food. If that doesn't work take their bedroom doors.

I don't know about the door, but they will realize that parents have their perks and actions have reactions. If they don't want to be parented anymore, I wouldnt. Don't give them rides places, don't buy them presents, let them make their own dinner, etc. Just keep food in the house, a roof over their head, clothes on their bodies, dont hit them and get them to school and the goverment is happy. The rest is technically optional.

Remind them who pays for their phones, wifi and when they hang out with their friends and they might not want those privileges taken away.

Don't let them go that way, because chances are they won't stop there. You pay the bills , you close the deal.

Scare them with what happens when they do that. Medical examinations, police reports, relocation, foster care where they might actually be abused... They might think twice about that threat. Or call their bluff, offer to dial for them. Whatever you do, don't stand for it.

That's what you get for having a 12 year old

Its very easy say if you do that then you end up in foster care where we will only allow you to take your clothes, no toys, no computers, no mobile, inform their school that they have pulled this crap and make damned sure they know the consequences of this and the life in care they can expect to get.

You didn't discipline then enough when they were younger. Apparently they have no respect for you at all. I suggest hidden cameras throughout your house to use as evidence should they be stupid enough to call.
