Child Parenting vs. Teen Parenting pt.6…stay in a child’s place

Child Parenting vs. Teen Parenting pt.6…stay in a child’s place


Here we a have a discussion between two adults in a home, a child’s mother and her brother…
The child happens to be in the dining room when the conversation takes place. The conversation
Is about the concern she has about her brother’s disrespect. The conversation gets heated, and in
The middle of the conversation, the child (which is only 11 years of age) interjects with her opinion,
The brother says; “stay in a child’s place”. The mother tells her brother; “she can say what she likes”.
What’s wrong or right with this picture???

Here is another conversation that takes place in the mother’s bedroom on the phone with her significant
Other, her son happens to be in the room. She goes on having an intimate conversation about what they
 are going to do to each other when they get together. She thinks her son is not paying attention because
his is sitting on the floor, playing with his toys. Her son says, (while she is on the phone) “mommy, what’s
a 69 ?....what is wrong or right with this picture ???

I came up in a household to where, when two adults are having a conversation, the child must leave the
Room. It almost seems like rules of old are extinct, and parents of today are wondering why their children
Are growing up so fast, or why they have such a filthy mouth, and not have respect for their parents.
Who’s the parent and who’s the child? Furthermore, is it necessary for a parent to bash the other parent,
in front of the child when the relationship is over? How will that help them when it is their turn in pursuing
a fruitful relationship???

Help me Overstand*
