[quote]The eye rolling and snark she learned from you.

Stop doing it now.

She is just reflecting back your own behavior. It always sucks and is a bit disbelieving to us as parents that we could actually be acting that way [b]but we are[/b].

Speak for yourself, PP. 
The eyerolling and snark can also be learned from TV and from peers. When they hit the teenaged years, parents are no longer the only role models.

OP 's DD is 9, not a teenager.  She is learning it at home and reflecting back how she is treated. Read OPs post - she feels she already has a bad relationship with her kid. She does. No mom who is snarky and rolling her eyes at her kid is going to be on here talking about some awesome relationship they have with their kid.

My kid is almost 12. She does neither of these things. Several of her friends do not either. The common denominator - I never see their mothers rolling their eyes at their kids or making snarky comments towards them.  As they become teenagers, who knows what will happen.[/quote]
