[quote=Anonymous]Ignore the negative SAHM comments, some people are assholes.

I'm so glad you wrote this post, I am also a SAHM and I have an 11 DD who has inklings of this behavior.  I also have a sweeter 9 year old DD who really is so different.   I think sometimes she sees the interactions between me and my older daughter and does not want to go down that path.

I, like you, have had consequences, boundaries, etc...  what I have realized from reading responses is that I have made her help out around the house enough.  Honestly with the constant reminders, nagging it has been easier and more peaceful to do many things myself but your post helps me see that I need to change that.  I am stlll making her lunch and I need to change that immediately.

I also do better when I do not engage, and also have started punishing her for attitude and eye rolling.  I also engage way too much.  I've been thinking about why I do engage so much while reading your post and I am still trying to teach them right from wrong.   When we engage we are trying to get them to learn by understanding what they say is wrong.  After reading the responses and thinking about my situation, I realize that they know what is appropriate and not, because they don't treat anyone else like they do us.

My husband blows up at me when he is frustrated, I am starting to see my oldest do the same thing.  I am giving her some space and trying to ask her what is wrong after some time has passed.

There was another thread on here...   http://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/527604.page.  Parent had punishment of pulling weeds, I have instituted 15 minutes of snow shoveling as a punishment, so far it is working well.
