[quote=Anonymous]They all have phases and bad days but it’s not normal behavior to tell your mom to shut up and get away with it. Tell her you’re having a family meeting and lay out expected behavior. Absolutely no telling anyone to shut up, no swearing. Figure out a consequence that you can impose. Tell her what it is. Enforce it each and every time. Same for screaming and throwing a tantrum. I would reward her too for good behavior. For now take screens away on weekdays. No negotiation. Stay firm. Allow on weekends if her behavior improves. My kid is 12 now. She has a phone but hasn’t had it during the week for a month now because of grades. She never has screens before school ever. You gotta get serious OP [/quote]
