Mom forbids 13-year-old daughter from touching anything in the kitchen unless she cleans her baking mess, leading daughter to stop doing chores: ‘Fine, I won’t touch anything’
I have never met a kid who likes or enjoys helping their parents around the house. Honestly, I highly doubt a kid like that actually exists.

I feel like the word «boundaries» has become a buzzword of pop psychology in the last couple of years. It’s all that anyone seems to talk about when it comes to navigating tricky relationships. Everyone is allowed to have boundaries and to keep everyone in their lives accountable to them. You have to respect someone’s …
