[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I dont' agree that this behavior is normal. Yes, they can get moody and experience mood swings, but in no way it is normal to treat the parent disrespectfully. It didn't happened just now. Your acceptance of this behaviour will only serve as approval. I have one teenager (16) and one pre-teen girls. In no way they would ever roll their eyes at me or their dad. With the tone, watch how do you talk to them. They have tendency to copy your behaviour. 
Pointing out their behaviour is a good thing because they may not even realize that what are they doing is unexeptable. Remember, they are still kids, even if they taller than you. Yes, my 10 y.o. came this morning and started complaints on the kitchen that the oatmeal is too liquidy, and that I should not put fresh berries in it. After I explained to her that if she wants to have the oatmeal made to her liking, she should start making it herself. I told her it is totally unexeptable to make comments like that after I put an effort to cook a breakfast for everyone. She apologized and ate breakfast and said thank you for the breakfast.

Well aren't you high and mighty.  It's easy to be a perfect parent when you have easy kids.[/quote]
