Complacency

Tony Abræn: To a teenage son — complacency. Nothing pisses me off more than the mindset that this world owes him something, and he doesn’t have to work for it.

Thankfully we don’t have that problem often, when he was younger I emphasized other things.

Lying

Gabriel Medrano: Lying. I share with my children that lying creates false reality whereby I cannot help them through whatever they may be going through. I also tell them honestly will never get them in trouble with us, coming to us first before we find out through deceit. We want to be there for them and help them, which makes truthfulness paramount.

Bullying

Stuey Brice-Ellis: Bullying, my son had an issue with an older lad, who happened to be the step son of a friend and colleague of mine at the time. I sorted it.
I was bullied at school and I’ll have none of that in my son’s life!!!
Similarly if I found my son was bullying anyone I’d hand him his ass and he’d never want to do it again. But my son is a good and happy lad with a good group of decent friends (for a 7 year old) so I know it won’t be an issue.

Alex Guevara: People not waving back at my 2 year old…YOU.WAVE.BACK.DAMN.IT!!!! LOL

A Relative Parenting My Kid

Nick Stephenson: Inserting yourself into my parenting role. Example, a relative of my fiancee when they were in Colorado visting, so I was not there. Asked to give my son peppermint water because he was being fussy and they said it worked for their kid, my fiancee said no and that we were going to wait on things like that because he was 2 or 3 months old at the time. Well when my fiancee stepped away for a bit she decided she knew better and gave my son a bottle with water and a PEPPERMINT CANDY. Which is NOT peppermint water. Shortly after my son projectile vomited and we later found out she had given that to him, needless to say this relative is lucky I was not there because I would not have been nice. Whether you did it with your kids and they are fine or you don’t believe it’s a big deal, respect what I want for my child because going against it is the fastest way for me to lose my cool.

Josh Gottschalk: I will NOT tolerate some random person telling me how to raise my son.
I don’t give a F**k about how you think I should have handled the situation, or dealt with my son.
Unless I ask your opinion (I wont) keep your yap shut.

Entitlement

James Shamus Roan: Self entitlement attitude. Luckily I deal with adults more with that attitude than my kids – raised mostly right.

Chris James A self entitled child who thinks the world owes them something and has no respect or consideration for anyone else.

Stealing

Bill Cherfoli: There is nothing in this world you can’t earn if you want it bad enough. Taking things that don’t belong to you is completely unacceptable in my family.

Low Self-Confidence

Jay Cwiklinski: My children telling themselves they aren’t good enough.

Loki Einarsson The words “I can’t do it”… granted she is autistic but it breaks my heart when I hear those words!

Manipulation

Scott Johnson Crying or emotion to get a goal. Start with calm communication. I will not raise a manipulative human.

Jon Young Spoiled kids who will cry just to get one over on their parents.
