My children, particularly the 10 and 11 year-old, do not seem to have any regard for rules. Simple requests, such as bringing down dirty clothes and linens, are ignored. Their only response when asked why they did not is only a shrug or "I don't know". We have noticed that this behavior is carrying over to school, as well. When asked if they have any homework, etc., they almost always say no, but we have been contacted by teachers that they are not turning in assignments. We have removed games, TV, ipods, computers, cell phone use and at one point removed our oldest from basketball, but they really do not seem to care. At least not to the point of any improvement. I don't know how to discipline someone who simply does not care. Need advice... (link)

hey so whenever i do something wrong my mom gives me consequences. if they decide that they're not going to do the laundry take their clothes and put it in a bag and tell them they won't get it back til they decide to do their laundry. and as for their grades being low, they need improve them. continue to take things away from them, im pretty sure they care. try to sit down with them and help them with homework. Make it clear also that you have received phone calls from their teacher, that they haven't been doing well in school and if they continue to do this they will continue to receive punishments. they need to do well so they can pass. and as a parent you need to keep giving them consequences. when they come home from school ask them to get their folder and bring it to you if that what it takes, and sit down with them and see what they need to do. i hope i helped. Nikita

Thanks Nikita. I'm sure you're right, deep down they probably do care. It just isn't very evident right now. My husband and I keep thinking, "I was never like that". How can our parenting skills be so different from those we were raised by? I can say that they are good boys in that they are polite to others, share well, and frequently asked out by other families because they are so well behaved...or so they say. I do love them tremendously, but feel overly tested right now. Thanks again.
