Will teens ever be in charge of the family instead of their parents, to where parents take orders from them?

Kids are able to manipulate parents around their fingers. Mainly cos parents think that their kids are as naive as them at that age and kids are getting smarter. I'm not just talking about teenagers. Kids as young as 3 years old are now scolding their parents and directing them. We are living in a screwed up, upside down world. The scariest part is that parents allow themselves to be ordered around.

yes they say manners and etiquette's are to be taught by parents they also have to teach what's good and bad they are also supposed to teach or inculcate moral values to their children hence a small mistake on our part lets the hell breaks loose on the family in general and parents in particular this is annoying but this is way of life and the society\nsometimes a person has to face the wrath of the society for no rhyme and reason but just because a person was there at the time of incidence

Things have to be pretty bad for kids to be taken out of the parents care and if there is abuse or neglect involved, yes eventually they can.

Yes if he is underage its time to get his parents involved and the best way to do that is have her Dad do it.\nEither way a restraining order is in order.

As a parent of a teenager who says I'm too strict, I can say that it's very hard to strike a balance between keeping your child safe and allowing them to develop the independence they will need when they go into the world on their own.  \n\nAs a former teenager whose parents were even more strict than I am, I can say that overbearing parents can have their good intentions backfire as the child may rebel.\n\nThe parent and child need to discuss the issues at hand, which will depend on the activity the child wants to go do.  The parent has to be honest about the concerns that come up, and the child has to explain to the parent how they will handle the situations that concern the parent.  The child will have to prove to the parent that they are capable of handling themselves independently in order to ease the parent's mind.  \n\nIn my case, I have learned to trust that I have raised my child well thus far, and provided the foundation that will allow my teenager not to give in to peer pressure and to consider the potential consequences to any actions that might be considered.

Some people actually are the bosses of other people, but that's usually in the workplace, where somebody needs to be in charge to make sure things run right. Parents also have to be "bosses" to their children, at least until the kids are old enough and have demonstrated the ability to make good decisions on their own. If you are talking about why people want to boss around their friends and peers, some people like to have power over others. Or they think they are smarter or better than everyone else. They have to learn that you can't really control other people. Even as a parent, you can't make your kids feel a certain way or force them to chose to become a certain career; all you can do is prevent them from making dangerous choices and give them the opportunity to learn and make good choices. Each of us has to learn that the only person I have ultimate control over is myself. I cannot control everything that happens to me, but I can control my attitude, what I say, what I do. I'm the boss of me, regardless of who else has power over my life.

That sounds like a lot of WORK and responsibility for your parents. Maybe there is a good reason why your friend's parents won't allow it either. The only thing I can say is to remove as much of the burden from your parents. YOU clean the house, YOU prepare the food, YOU police your friends and make sure they follow your parents' rules and YOU clean up afterwords -- if you demonstrate to your parents that you can do all that and follow through you might have a chance.

i think a lot of parents let there kids get out ofof control at a very young age .. and they had rather turn there head than try to do something with the kids .. so yes i do think a parent should be responable for what there teen agers do..

Depending on the situation. When my parents are older I feel they should be the responsibilty of me and my siblings. The way I see it, they spent quite a few years looking after us, so we should do the same for them.

never....I could barely live with my own family as much as I love them, but that is because they are my family and I have to deal with them....random people I would have much less patience with.\n\nWhat if all the bills are in your name? What if they can't pay their share of property taxes? What if you can't stand them and want them to move, who gets the house and how do you split it up? What if the kids corrupt your kids or if the people turn out to be irresponsible parents? I know I would have more patience with my kids than someone else's. \nAlthough its cool to have people around, sometimes you do want alone time which you would never have in that situation. All it takes is one bad apple to ruin it for everyone else. The more people in one area, the better the chance you come upon a bad apple.

Our priority's need to be on the home again. Not money. Parents need to be accountable for the behaviors their children demonistrate. Train them, raise them up in the way you want them to go. We all need to stop being so materilistic, and then surprised when our children act out. They are ashmed of their parents and their behaviors. So they rebel.\n\nOpen a dialog with your kids..... it is us aginest them not kids aginst their family.

They did not with my son. You would have to consent if they ever decided to change their rules and practices.

Society has allowed the children to take control.  Their is a reason children are not supposed to be in control, it is because they lack self control and are selfish.  Children are not supposed to be told no today, if you do they lose control and do what children do, have tantrums.  \n\nSo many things are wrong with this picture, but parents need to learn to take back control, very soon.  Blessings.
