Many parents allow their children to go out and party, get high, yell at them, throw things, and act disrespectful. Many parents in return are very timid and buy them things to get them happy. When is it okay for a child to run the house in which you pay rent or mortgage for?

I would say never. I think it might be easy for me to say because my kids are 5, 3 and 1. I wish anyone luck if they run a house like that.

Never, sometimes preteens and teens try but parents have to set their foot down and set rules. Some parents want to be friends instead of parents , that doesn't work till they are grown and out of the house. If the child is in their teens but not old enough to work and get allowance I would write a bill for everything they do eat, shower, etc make them do chores to work it off. Until they understand they can run the household when they pay the bills.

Hmmm... pretty much its not...
But who am I to complain? I run my house... I got out and party, I get high in and out of the home, I get drunk, when my parents piss me off I yell at them, I dont throw things at them although we do get into physical fights, and I am proud to say I show my parents more respect than I show the police, but having said that, I do not have any respect for the police...
My parents dont buy me things anymore and are anything but timid, they just dont care...
And letting the child run the house, is not a good thing, it doesnt make the kid happier, just makes them feel unwanted and like they arent cared for

OK go ahead and let them run the house when they are two and don't come crying to me when you have a grandchild and your kid is only 16 sorry to put it so mean but it is NEVER OK FOR A CHILD TO RUN THE HOUSE!!!!! put them in there place when they are young and you won't have a problem when they are older. for example, i am the youngest of four girls, my parents expect respect and if we did not give it to Them when we were younger we would get in trouble. i have a friend who was given EVERYTHING in life and she is now 15 and has smoked, drank, and she almost thought she was pregnant last month and that is not the first time she has told me that in the last TWO years and her 16th birthday is tomorrow. her parents do not do a thing about it and she flat out tells them that she does not have to listen to them.
if you want that to happen to your kid go ahead and let them run the house now but if you want them to be good then tell them YOU are the boss and make sure they understand it
i am not saying you should swat them unless they really need it but 10 min. in the corner always changed my attitude

good try.. your a kid trying to get yahoo answer people to side with you. parents sh ould NEVER let the child run the house. The child gets to run the house when they pay rent or mortage. If my kids ever were using pot or anything to get high, definately not mature enough to run the house. you have no reason to act disprectful.

How about never? I established the fact that I was the parent when the child was young, and I never abdicated that role. It is possible to raise an independent, thoughtful, intelligent teenager without letting them run wild.

NEVER! I get so disgusted by parents who won't discipline their children. They say they don't want their kids to be mad at them. My kids can be "mad" all they want, but as long as I am the parent and they are the child. They will show respect and behave and that is all there is to it. A temper tantrum only gets you in more trouble at my house and has never got them what they wanted.

That is stupid!! Those parents are being bad parents by not showing the child how it's ok and not ok to act in the world. They are making their children responsible, sociable, hardworking people with manners. I know some people with that upbringing and it doesn't work out well.

It is NEVER ok. If a child is allowed to treat a parent that way that child will never respect their parents or respect authority in general. It is disrespectful to the children to let them take control because, as a parent, you are NOT doing your job of preparing them for being out in the real world where someone will whip their butt for talking like that to them, fire them for acting this way, or worse, shoot them for disrespecting them.
