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.

I definitely agree with #6. You might also want to meet with their schools guidance counselor/school psychologist (whichever they have) and talk to them about the situation. They can often give some good advice and help you talk to the kids. You'll also have a record of talking to them if your kids do decide to follow through with their threat

I guess this is how id see it. I would whoop their asses once real good then take away their favorit possesions and replace them with books. thats what my mother did whenever I was grounded. then she would make me report to her what the books were about! it taught me to respect her real quick

Kick them out and make them sleep outside. lol, or maybe you should "abuse" them. One great ass kicking will do the job. ?

I feel your pain. my stepdaughter told her teacher we make her sleep in a cold room with no blankets because she got grounded for pissing in the floor. she's 6!

Why did she urinate on the floor? Six is still a pretty young age and some kids still have issues with wetting. Without full context and just "she was grounded for pissing on the floor", it does sound unjust. Most kids with wetting issues feel shame and guilt already, punishing them for it just compounds those feelings.

If I had said something like that to my parents, they would have handed me the phone and said "go ahead... call them" call their bluff and do the same thing. If they know the threat of calling CPS works, they'll use it to forever get their way. As their parents, you can't let that happen.

Also remind them that it will take them at least ten minutes to get there. Ten minutes, alone with you guys, when they have already claimed you're beating them up. Nothing to lose! :P But seriously, the military school is a great idea.

This is something that can be your last resort ... Calling the cops for their unruly behavior as juveniles

Give those ungrateful entitled little assholes something to report and take away all their fancy things and see how fast they turn around.
