[quote=Anonymous]I agree that one must pick their battles. I am in many ways a lenient parent but health and safety issues are non-negotiable. Been telling her that for years. For bad/rude/violent behavior, my response was to cut it off ASAP and send her to her room until she can be nice. We don't scream in our household. Too much for me. Also, ask her opinions about topics other than herself. She needs to feel respected and that her opinions are important. In regards to the OP's child's behavior it could be PMS. It's easy enough to track her cycles as teens are not the cleanest group! Meaning look in the bathroom trash. I would not drug test her. That does not show trust and she will hate you for it. Perhaps if there were other signs of drug use, maybe. But being a screaming mimi does not count IMO. [/quote]
