[quote=Anonymous]OP I sympathize. My kid is also extremely insolent :) I say the eyerolling is ok if she's registering annoyance at being asked to do something, as long as she does it. I would just look past it. However in this case it's more a lack of respect cuz you're not asking her to do anything. As long as expectations of treating your parents with respect are entirely clear in the household, then ironically, you might consider shoring up your mutual relationship by spending some one-on-one quality time together. I find that usually improves her mood around me and how she treats me, as the nagger-in-chief. Another simple thing is just to avoid asking for her opinion for peace's sake, especially if she woke up on teh wrong side of the bed. I would not take away the lunch for the day, the consequence seems outsize to the transgression. [/quote]
