[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no way we can answer this. It depends on what's considered disrespect to you, it depends on the dynamics of your relationship with your kid, etc.

Yesterday after school my DD and I bought her a new lunchbag. On the walk home, she was swinging it around, and accidentally hit someone walking by. She apologized but kept swinging it and a man had to sidestep her to avoid getting hit. When I pointed it out she argued with me. So I took the bag away. [/quote]

OP here. You can say that I am experiencing similar situations with a 13 year old DD.
She would leave the lights on in the study room for hours and when reminded her that she needs to turn the lights off when not in use, she will argue that she was going to go to that room anyways.
sometimes she is really sweet and sometimes she can be really disrespectful.
if she does not eat lunch or drink water, I tell her that I will stop packing her lunch from next day. Her reply would be that she will buy from the school cafeteria.
