There are words in our house that are forbidden when addressing each other....."stupid", any swearing, derogatory comments and my worst word that makes my skin crawl - "shut up".
Maybe the next time your son calls you a jerk, live up to it and take away something of his or prevent him from attending something important to him. Respect is paramount in any household.
"If you say I am a jerk then watch me live up to it.......when you see how miserable you will be when I am actually a jerk, maybe you will appreciate it when I am not" Hah!!!
Sorry if I sound like a bit of a hard *** but thats the way I see it.......Good luck!  |
No definitely not - I think it is horrible to call your kids or any of your family members a jerk or loser. It has to be real bad to justify that.
It seems that taking away his computer time does not bother him a real lot. Even after time out - he will do it again anyway the next time around. Just wonder is there a way where we could complete eliminate it. It's way over the top for a kid to call his parent(s) that.
I over heard one of his cartoon on TV - someone was calling another a loser (in a casual way). He only watches TV once a week in the morning. Sometimes you just don't know what is good for them to watch anymore. Wish there is an easy way to find out.
Thanks for all your feedbacks.
