I don't put up with back talking me. That's an automatic trip to your room and grounding from the computer, phone, etc. Sometimes I used to just ignore her when she would try to keep arguing, knowing that she'd go
away realizing the conversation was over when I didn't respond. But that's not working anymore.
Don't get me wrong, she's not always like this. I don't know what the hell got into her. She just seems more combative lately. Is this a teenage thing?
Usually my kids are well behaved (well...my son is always well behaved, but he has a more laid back personality and things don't bother him like they do my daughter).
Yesterday was a little better, we went to my parent's to have an early celebration for my son's b-day. But even there, my dd was full of attitude. My father got mad at her--and she's his favorite-he never gets angry with her.
