Agree, but kicking a 13 yo from your home isn't discipline. And in this case, she was lumping the kid in with her frustration with her husband.I was ambivalent about kicking the son out as well, but a 13-year-old is not a baby and "clean up after yourself, especially if Mom tells you to" is not asking for the moon.
...And just generally to do as required by his parent. It may be that that kid was following an anti-woman direction, but that seems a bit of a stretch. Better to site it as a "house citizen obligations" thing than make it a"you don't respect women" thing. She just seemed to be applying a level of maturity and negative motivation to a kid that wasn't warranted.I agree that this was a bit of a nuclear option but at least in her telling it sounds like the kid got the message, and without the husband around to undermine her the son now has the chance to learn to act right and respect the women in his life.
I typically would, but usually people put those in quotes. Hopefully they aren't the real names. The fuckery in that house doesn't need the added bonus of having kids actually identified for the kids' peers to find.Probably fair to assume the names are pseudonyms, but it's not like "Rachel" and "Tim" are highly specific given the lack of other identifying information.
Jesus Christ. That's a lot to put on a 13 yo.At 13 kids show their character it just gets worse and more pronounced as they age especially when they have learned to play people against each other and making others to do their jobs unless they face severe consenquences and even then they might not change .
Cut off a 13 yo for not doing chores?She should cut her losess
Don't have kids.
