[quote=Anonymous]I often have to remind my 13 yo that if she wants me to treat her like the adult she's becomng, she needs to act like one. One thing I won't tolerate is backtalk. I tell all my kids that they can think something nasty all they want but I don't want to hear it come out of their mouths. The old adage "if you can't say something nice, don't asy anything at all" has never been more true! If she hurls insults I would simply remind her "I'm your mother and I won't deal with that disrespect. Come back when you can be civil." and walk away. Bad attitude earns zero rewards no matter what she wants. She wouldn't speak to her friends that way (or she'd have none!) so don't stand for it toward yourself or any other family member.[/quote]
