Why do parents get involved in their child's tiffs? Kids will be kids-- as long as blood is not drawn-- let them work out their own problems. We have all been there. Kids will be mad at each other one day and best buddies the next (especially girls). I really don't understand. Of all the years you could live over, why are you picking the teens?? Did you not have enough punishment the first time around? Or were you the one picked on so you have to re-live those years as an adult and pick on a kid--calling names, my spacing from your childs page (isn't there a mother in Texas on trial for that). Just totally stupid unadult behavior.
How do you expect your child to grow and learn when you are fighting the battle for them. These are the learning years. Your child will grow to be socially inept if you don't let them handle their own issues. Kids are immature, that's why they need parents.
So stop living vicariously through your child and let them live their life. You screwed up your own, don't screw up theirs as well.
