When the baby bird becomes too demanding, loudly squalking that they know everything and wants to grab all the worms...Momma bird gives baby bird a little nudge. Baby bird discovers what it is to fly or die. 16 year olds can legally emancipate themselves, or a parent can 'emancipate' them. Squalking is a declaration of independence. Honor it or suffer. Your choice.
"Controlling" others is a study in frustration. Controlling you is your only real choice. If that requires excluding another from your peaceful environment to maintain it..as demanded..so be it. [You can always sent em a peanut butter sandwich/tattered blanket/tent just before they starve or freeze. Providing steak is counterproductive] Teanagers should run the world while they still know everything. Old people forget in the face of reality. If someone insists that they're right..they are. Finding out 'how' right is 'their' job and they'll have to do it...you can't. Your job is done. ...so, you want an SUV? OK cool..go buy one. End of story...go play 'your' harp in the yard and see how well the rain keeps it in tune. No problem. PS Give back that old rusty trusty Toyota...I'll drive it. ..anyone who fucks with my head at the mall gets to walk home. [They might find the locks changed and a sleeping bag on the door step with a 'take a hike' note pinned to it.] Go find another airstrip baby, you ain't flying that crap through MY head space. [Where "I" am the traffic controller.] I can always love ya from a distance..and eventually will anyhow 'if and when' you grow up. ['They' determine how far away that is and when.] Ya can't buy and sell love, especially with abuse as the currency. If you accept an exchange like that..YOU'RE the turkey on a learning curve. [Gee whiz! Step aside and let that crosswind blow by!] Nothing that anyone 'says' can MAKE you feel ANYTHING..unless you volunteer victimhood. Who's wearing a sign that says, "Kick me and MAKE me cry"? Well, kick ME and you'll see just how fast I'm not at the end of your foot. [Was that a sonic boom?] You'll look pretty stupid standing there with one foot in the air, I'll betcha. [and nary an SUV to stand on] Now you wanna hate me? OK, your choice. [Not something I can control...that's YOUR headspace.] Your game, your rules...I ain't playin. Go have the fun that you defined for yourself.
