[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your daughter doesn't need the iPhone when she's at home, does she? So from the second you pick her up until the second she's heading out again, it can be yours.

What does your wife say about presenting a united front? What does your daughter say when you tell her in a calm moment how much it makes you want to punish her when she speaks disrespectfully to you? [/quote]

OP here - as  I mentioned DW and I are having our own issues. In fairness to DW, she has been working crazy hours, so her general take is that she just wants peace and quiet. In general though she will often state that is my fault that they behave this way for x reason. In this particular case DW asked me to send an email regarding two homework assignments that DD recieved F's for because teacher says she didn't hand them in - I actually have a tendency to believe DW because she is straight A/A+ and very competitive. That is what started the issue; DW took son to religious ed and I went over to ask daughter about school work. She was reviewing her grades online. When I asked questions she became very snitty and gave me a look of disdain. I about had it because that's all I get, unless of course she needs a ride somewhere.

Overall DD is a good kid. But she needs to be parented as does every 13 y.o. She has been this way since she was born; has a very stubborn streak, yet is fragile. As she enters teen years I want to ensure they understand respect.

Thanks for taking the time to respond.[/quote]
