You might be experiencing issues as a parenting team or maybe other problem areas in your life are affecting your parenting?
Much like the issue we received today:
"My 15-year-old son has found out that his friends are
getting much more pocket money than he does.
He’s become moody and resentful and refuses to help around the house.
He says we don’t pay him enough. How do I explain that there just isn’t enough money at the moment?
Bad Moms Club, please help."
