Ever found yourself at your wit's end, dealing with entitled behavior from your kids? I've been there too, just recently, when my son sprung a last-minute project on me. In today's episode, we're tackling this sticky situation head-on, discussing accountability, setting boundaries, and the pivotal role of self-care in our parenting journey. We'll also share some insights on how to stay sane during these challenging times - and yes, it's perfectly okay to have a cocktail in hand!
Our journey doesn't end with just managing behaviors; we're also going to get into the heart of parenting styles. Do our childhood experiences shape how we react to our children's entitlement? How can we use these moments to discipline and teach empathy and gratitude? From handling distractions like phones to modeling empathy, we're covering all the bases. And remember, no one's perfect - parenting is a challenge, and it's okay to give ourselves grace. So, grab your martini, and let's navigate this together, one sip at a time.
