Default Zach Disrespectful

Hi Matt
I have something but I don't know if it is a question or a feeling. We watch your show religiously. Can't imagine the boys going to college but as with us all we grow older. My problem is with Zack and the way he speaks to you and his mother. My daughter passed away this year at 31 and not once did she speak to me like that. I felt so sorry for you. It is so disrespectful. I enjoyed your trip to the island with your dad and friend. Great for you. I am sure Jacob and Jeremy have lasting memories from it. I hope Amy and you can fix your problems and not grow too far apart. Remember at the end of the day she is the mother of your children. Take care and God bless.
Earl

I agree he isn't being bad he is being disrespectful. He may tell it like it is but he is also rude when he does it. Sitting and discussing a problem is far more beneficial then screaming and yelling. Had Zack talked with his father and gave him his views and why he felt the way he did instead of screaming and yelling he would have come across as more mature person.

I don't recall Zach "screaming and yelling". He does argue and that is not always a bad thing but it should be done as respectfully as possible.

Well the kids get their attitude and disrespect towards Matt from their mom. You have to put most of the blame on her.

Kids see it and repeat it.

Amy starting the arguments, which the kids fall into that is not uncommon. Unfortunately, a lot of people argue and kids see it.

I think Zach even forgets he is not a kid anymore at 19, you are an adult. Even if I never got that point at his age either. If you do talk rationally to your dad, and not be immature, you will probably do ok, but also this is Matt we are talking about. Mr. Salesman, Matt accepts no, as another opportunity get you to say yes by niggling at you. I think, sometimes both parties have to know when it is a "no sale" on the conversation.
"So Zach you're in??? Ohhhh, come on"....
