[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Since she doesn't keep her mouth shut, you have to confront her. I also parent in a way that kids can say what's on their mind, I welcome questions and discussions. I hate this paranoia about "back talk". I always found that adults who complain about "back talk" were put in their place by a child and that's what irked them. They didn't know how to respond in the moment and felt the child had an upper hand. These are shallow, intellectually inferior human beings. That's why they raise their own kids submissive: because they're too stupid to actually have a conversation. These are "you have to do something because I say so" people. You deal with them by being strict and telling them that differently from them, you're not raising sheep. Also point out that their inability to not counter a child's argument is reflecting poorly on them, not the child. [/quote]

OP here, this totally sums up how I feel. I want my child to be able to come to me when she's older if she has a problem - not be terrified that mom will be mad. [/quote]
