dej(jed),
I always make sure my kids know that I will like them for always and love them forever (even if I may be angry with them in the moment).
But with that said, we have always laid down definite rules of acceptable behavior and have expected them to be responsible for their chores and school work and most of all for their behavior. Not saying they have been perfect. In fact the two oldest did make a few bad decisions - but we held them 100 percent accountable for those decisions.
They also had to work to earn the money to make purchases above and beyond our providing them with the necessaties in life. If they wanted a Play Station or an X-Box they had to work to earn it.
And they have ALWAYS known that after high school THEY are responsible for their lives. They have to make a go of it, if they don't wish to live in a cardboard box or homeless shelter. We have even said they can live at home rent free for a couple years if they want to (to save money or go to college), but they will respect us and our home and they will prove they are saving money if living under our roof rent-free. We love them greatly - but will not be walked on like door mats just because they are our children.
And, NO - they would never grab a remote and change the TV or radio station on either my husband or me. Not acceptable behavior for a child to do to a parent. Geez, I'm 49 and I would never do that to my dad.
