What to say when your kid calls you a bad mom
If your teenager doesn’t get their way you may have heard the complaint, “You’re a bad mother!”
Kids are not big fans of the word no, and may start complaining that you are unfair, unkind and a bad parent.
As parents, our job is to teach our kids boundaries and right from wrong. It is better to be unpopular with your teen and provide a good foundation for their life, than to be the popular parent with a child who has been set up for failure.
This is a great parenting quote:
Below are some funny comebacks that stop the complaining teenager in their tracks or at least shut them up momentarily.
Best comebacks if you are accused of being a bad mother
1. Of course I’m a good mother, you’re still alive, aren’t you?
2. I have been a bad mom. Please send me to my room for a time out equal to my age!
3. I thought I was one of your favorite parents.
