I know this is normal and it sounds like we are parenting the same kid.  We are on family vacation and she’s on her phone with her friends constantly.  She doesn’t want to do the family activities, only wants to go to the restaurants she wants, and is complaining about everything.  She is so disrespectful and has a constant furrowed eyebrow at everything we are doing, like a permanent scowl on her face.  We went for an evening at a live show the other night and she was literally texting her friends in the theater - it was during intermission, but that was the final straw for me.  I took the phone.  She cried.  I whispered to her that she doesn’t deserve the treats and privileges we’ve given her - I had just bought her snacks and a souvenir at the show.  I told her she had been so disrespectful to her father and me and until she can behave in a kind manner to everyone, nothing will come her way - not even a restaurant choice.  I’m still mad at her and I might just keep her phone until the New Year. [/quote]
