[quote=Anonymous]A combination of picking battles and pointing it out. Minor things I simply comment ("Watch your tone" is a favorite!) that I don't care for her attitude but if it gets out of hand I simply tell her to take it upstairs until she can pull herself together and be respectful. Half the time what she needs is time to decompress anyway so a teenage timeout is exactly what's in order! Absolute worst case when she's a hot mess I say that I'm taking myself upstairs instead until I can pull myself together. Once that involved turning off all the items for dinner and walking away to take a long shower. It was rather nice![/quote]
