I would (if I were a mother) as the children to listen to me and respect my wishes, even if they think they know it all. There are so many things kids could avoid dealing with if they would just listen.
I agree with Aiden. Kids make life so hard on themselves and the family because they don't listen to their parents. They would save everyone a lot of "grief" if they would only listen.
Yeah, Aiden is right. If I were a mother, I would surely ask the kids for the same thing. I would also ask them to always love and respect their parents no matter what.
