45 Times Teens Got A Taste Of Their Own Medicine As Their Parents Hilariously Roasted Them On Twitter

They say for toddlers to do like “do you want chicken nuggets or a sandwich for lunch?” so for teens I think something like “are you going to empty the dishwasher now or after dinner this evening?” to avoid loopholes while giving them the choice.

I remember perfectly well from being a teenager, if my mom told me "Empty the dishwasher" I'd be pissed off. If she said "Will you empty the dishwasher please" I would gladly do it.

It's not about loopholes. It's about making sure you don't accidentally teach your kid that their choice doesn't actually matter. My father did that to me all the time growing up. Pretended to give me a choice, then got mad when I said "eh, not really" and demanded I do the thing right that moment. All I learned from him was that I didn't have the right to refuse. He's lucky he didn't further feed my anxiety into the becoming a doormat for anyone and everyone to use as they pleased.

If the kid is old enough to say that response, they are old enough to know what "polite conversation" is and to know that "will you please..." actually means "do this" in every facet of society. If your boss or your spouse says it, they actually want you to do that thing. The choice is to do it, or receive consequences. That's how the world works.

And never ask someone to do something by saying "You wanna do x?" Chances are good they won't wanna.

You can give them a choice - empty the dishwasher or get a foot up your a**e.

Through the loophole and gone with the wind!

As an actual teenager I can attest to this

This is a good point, but how would you phrase it so it’s not a choice but it is still polite?

THIS!!

Sounds like Irish moms and Black moms have something in common! ✌🏾

Not if I wanted to live!

It isn't... I don't slam doors and I socialize like a normal human bean :3

I think I socialize to great extent..till my capacity allows...and no door slaming

I confess I was guilty of this at times!

The door is a moving *inanimate* object P H Y S I C S

And the inacceptable disappeaance of food items such as chocolate and cereals.

Omg, that was literally my 13yr old last night😭 10:30 waking to my room to sleep. Wait mom, can I talk to you. ..... laying my head down finally & look at clock 12:38pm...I get up at 5:30am uggghhhhhh my 15yr old though, was the one described in this post....well there's food missing & dishes pulled everywhere so I think she's still alive

That sounds like any kid to be honest

*gasp* YOU HAVE THE SAME NAME AS ONE OF MY FRIENDS

Sounds like the Roomba is smarter than the kid!

I finally got my tubes cauterized in my late-30s because my ob-gyn had never say anything else in the 15+ years I had been seeing her.

Well, if it was just for ONE day then a few million quid would do me nicely, thanks.

People who can't comprehend this. Simple minded.

Nope

Snakes are REALLY good cuddlers

Been there and done that, what planning and friends to help were needed to do this dreadful thing none of us turned out to be Capones!

I believe that's the point ;)
