Legit Boundaries - What, Why and How

The Jones household was like a sitcom gone wrong. Mark and Jenny, well-meaning parents, watched helplessly as their 16-year-old son, Jake, turned their lives upside down. "Can I borrow the car?" became "I'm taking the car." Curfew? What curfew? And don't even get them started on the mysterious disappearance of leftovers from the fridge.

Mark and Jenny tried everything. They alternated between being strict ("No video games... ever!") and overly lenient ("Sure, have a party while we're away. What could go wrong?"). Nothing worked. Jake kept pushing, and they kept second-guessing themselves. Were they being too harsh? Too soft? Just right? Who knew?

One day, after finding Jake's dirty laundry in the kitchen sink (don't ask), they decided enough was enough. They signed up for a parenting course on setting boundaries. Armed with new knowledge, they sat Jake down for a family meeting.

To everyone's surprise, the conversation was a game-changer. They explained their concerns, set clear, reasonable expectations, and - plot twist - asked for Jake's input. The result? A household treaty that everyone could live with. Jake even volunteered to do the dishes (once a week, let's not get crazy).

Turns out, legitimate boundaries weren't about control - they were about respect, safety, and surprisingly, freedom for everyone.
