Why do my kids argue with me at every turn. I never argued with my mother - always did what I was told! You would think that once they grow up a bit and get to the ages of 12, 15 and 19 that they would know better and try to get along with me OR AM I NOT LIVING IN THE REAL WORLD ?

I have a 12 and 15 year old and find it's easier to keep them apart.

preferably in different countries.
Simples meekat.

Years a go one could give them a bl00dy good hiding and then they would have to decide if arguing was worth the thrashing that would be coming to them.

Now?........well you know the rest.
pericat - my 19 year old son always has to have the last word - he always is in the right, thinks I patronise him when I speak - like you I never dared argue with my Mum, otherwise I would have got a clout.
Bowl of porridge................pot of honey...............or some fish!

Sadly squid is right , disobedient children are the result of their enviroment.

Imagine what they say to folk that arent related to them or do their cooking and washing !!

jeepers my 15 and 16yrs old sons jokingly argue with me. A look seems to let them know they've gone too far or are stretching the point. A sense of humour has helped me with them peri. good luck, just enjoy the toe-rags :D
Sadly my eldest is now of age where she tells me what I should or should not be doing.......even worse she is sometimes right.....

Fear me my disciple!
personally, after raising 4, it only stops when they leave home and then they appreciate what they had. one day they just turn into decent adults. dont give up, they are all lippy. yours are no different than most other peoples. think of it as them having a point of view and not cheek it helps.
