Good morning beautiful people, today I'm feeling sad, depressed and lonely. I find myself in a situation were my kids really don't respect me it's like i'm a joke to them when I correct them or giving them instructions. As a single mom I do find myself in a very difficult situation at the moment financially. Do you think respect go along with money? I sure feel that way. Any advise?

I don't have kids so I don't know what you're going through. What age are your kids? Sometimes kids go through a stubborn stage at a certain age

Maybe change your style of disciplining them..
it is not the money that matter..

Now the world over respect goes along with money . I am facing the same problem. But we need not get depressed. Leave everything to Jesus Christ and don't expect anything from anybody except peace from our Lord and Saviour. He is our citadel.

No and especially not when it comes to your children. How old are they?

If your kids are disrespecting you they will do so with or without you having money.

I was a single mom for a while and what I found was that my children respected me more when I followed through with what I said I would do, especially in terms of discipline. Like if I said they had to clean their rooms in the morning or we couldn't go to the beach in the afternoon, if they didn't follow through, we didn't go to the beach. That was hard for me, and I messed up in the beginning, but I learned they wouldn't respect what I said anymore if I didn't actually follow through on it. I didn't have much money as a single mom, and their Dad had a lot more than I did, but I didn't feel they disrespected me for it.
