Consistency is key. You cannot get frustrated with her as its alienating and its letting her down.

Condescending, entitled, selfish, rude, sassy.... I mean 1 in 2 girls are bullies to adults these days! Many teen boys are the same, but with that I would say 1 in 5-7 boys is like this. We are doing something wrong as parents, and these behaviors are become the norm. I am at my wits end with my teen DD as well. ADHD, and one day she is an angel and the next day I am kicking out a drinking party at my place, that I couldn't even imagine my sweet girl organizing while lying to my face. If you find a way to better it, let me know. I am that patient, not raising my voice even after unauthorized party parent. She finds fault even with that!


Well, gee. Perhaps that's your problem, right there? Why do you have no spine in dealing with your own out-of-control kid?


Lowering, not raising, ones voice can be very effective. A deep authoritative growl is better than screaming.

They do find fault with everything.
