[quote=Anonymous]DH here.

I find my 13 year old DD uses a tone of voice with me that I find disrespectful. She will look at me with disdain and can be more than sharp tongued. In speaking with other parents you will hear them say that daughters are harder than boys. As my DW and I are also having our share of problems, I find that my wife does not back me when I correct daughter. I would like to present a unified parenting front; I think it would help alleviate the tone from DD. I sometimes fear that DD is watching how DW communicates with me and is modeling that behavior. I will sat that  I am frustrated that we do not put forth a unified front.

What is a reasonable discipline for this behavior. I don't want to get in a shouting match with my 13 y.o. As we live the suburban life style I am forever driving her to one of her sporting events. Given they are team events, and I want her to learn the value of being a team player, I am hesitant to prevent her from attending team events. She recently received an IPhone but part of the reason for that is htat we need to communicate.

So, thoughts and ideas on how you discipline your young teens for disrespectful behavior.

Thanks.[/quote]
