My partner and I have a loving relationship that is being destroyed by this spoilt brat, who is arrogant and highly opinionated. My gripe is why so many parents today have no control over their offspring but become victims to them.
To me, these kids have no respect for their parents when they manipulate them by such things as "If he comes over I'm leaving home..." and so on. It's tragic to see a female friend who is in a similar situation because her daughter "hates" her mother's boyfriend.
Children ought to respect their parent's wishes and not sabotage their relationships. The trouble is that so many parents have been too soft and never said “No” to their little ones. Consequently they grow up spoilt, arrogant, controlling and manipulative because they are accustomed to having their own way and throw a wobbly when they don't.
How can a single parent address this at such a late stage of their children’s' development? Many have suggested to me that they can't. Common courtesy, morals and even basic politeness have not been instilled.
The parents may end up the losers in the long run. I understand and appreciate parental sacrifices, but not a lack of control or martyrdom.
