Yes I am a daughter pleaser, but I think it’s because over empathize with the experience of being a teen. I am always thinking of her side, and remember clearly how it felt to be a teen. She’s also very convincing and articulate. I need to improve and be more firm. I also just don’t want the blowback. My husband is so much better at setting firm boundaries.

I used to accomodate her and be super supportive and available. She recently started rhis 16 year old attitude where she started being more disrespecftul and dismsissivr of me. I started setting up my boundaries and shifted my emotional and physical availability and I am being less available. She is feeling my switch and we are now in that strange phase were she is confussed about my switch. Is interesting to watch. Hope i can keep strong!

All of the above!! I didn’t have to worry about it with my oldest daughter but now with my youngest, I’m having to learn all new boundaries and set all new rules now because she’s showing me that she is not like my oldest daughter. It’s scary

1. I always say yes but I always WANT to say yes. 2. When I’m forced to say no then I do explain. But I don’t think I OVER explain. 3. I never want him to be mad at me.

Ok yes to the first two. But is this rationalizing my behavior because 1) I always want to say no to socializing because I don’t like it, but usually say yes because she’s an only child and she needs that. 2) I probably over explain, but I don’t want to be a”because I said so” parent 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️

#1- I say yes, before I even think that I want to say no. Or I default to which option would be easiest for him
#2 - I used to, but I am getting better at this
#3 -he can be mad all he wants, but I hyper fixate on "punishment matching the crime" and I think that makes me go east when I shouldn't

Yes to all three. I’m a people pleaser by nature and for my daughter it’s amplified. I want to check and see if she’s mad when I do say no. She is actually really good at handling it too but I hate it. Especially since her dad and I split when she was 10- such an awful age for that to happen. But I wish I could stop feeling so much lol

I've done all three on occasion. Childhood trauma is hard to overcome sometimes.

I think maybe we all are a little bit of people pleasers around here. Better than being a low effort or high conflict family. We don’t shy away from having hard conversations, but all of us are helpful, rarely say no if others ask us a favor or to help out and if someone is upset se talk it Out Immidiatly. I grew up with a lot of «healthy» conflict (trust me, it was super unhealthy)and my dad giving people the silent treatment. I will absolutely not walk on egg shells and be scared that my own kids are mad at me. I would never ever do that to them. So we deal with that Immidiatly. Being angry or upset and not communicating it but walking around obviously mad about something is so abusive. I will not have any of that in my home.
