Right very quick info.My birthday on Friday,went out for meal with kids and friends who paid.Kids were horrible,bickering,poking,sulking etc so I grounded the three youngest for the weekend. Ages,14,12 and 9 tomorrow! Mortified at behaviour in front of friends and people were looking in pub! So yesterday 14DS was arsey and my dh was cooking a lovely meal to make up for the shitty Friday night. Long story but DS was fighting,being really rude and swearing at us. DH smacked his face when he called me a fing tw-t and then again when he called hima fing pratt! SOOOOO, ds is grounded and has gone to church after quoting Children's Rights Act at me and telling me he has every right to practice his religion! DH let himwalk out because what else can he do to him? He's grounded for two weeks as well extra so how do I save face now?Am thinking of talking to Youth Leaders at Church and shaming DS, who thinks they are the bees knees.Help,whjat shalI do?Have threatened to take everything out of his room,stop him going sking in Feb,which is already paid for and he's NOT coming out with us for DS's birthday treat.
IDEAS??
