Most parents go through this kind of thing. Tough love is probably tougher on the parents than on the kids. Many of us have learned the hard way that by being overly generous and excessively forgiving to our kids, we can be spoiling them rotten and sending the message that there are no consequences for bad behavior.

When my kids were forced to pay for their own cars and insurance, they suddenly started driving more responsibly. Neither has had an accident since. Coincidence? Probably not.
