[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD is really a slob.  When she was 14, she finished dinner and got up and I was at the sink and said, "honey, bring me your plate."

DH, trying to help, chimed in, "yeah, don't leave your stuff there, Larla, your mother is not the maid,"

To which my DD replied, "Well, actually, Mom, technically, you ARE the maid.  Unlike Ms. X and Ms. Y, you have no outside job.  You gave up your career to be a SAHM, and thus your work is to work for us.  So yes, you ARE the maid, and here are my dishes for you to wash."

I still seethe when I think of that day.  Anyways I was so upset I posted on DCUM about it, and of course got yelled at by some, but also got some great advice.  In particular, someone recommended a book called, "Yes your teen is crazy" which actually totally changed our dynamic---and it was easy to implement!

My DS didn't go quite that far, but he started to say something like that to me--he's also said other things equally as bad. Tweens/teens can say some incredibly nasty things--but it's those personal attacks on our parenting, our choices, etc., that really sting. [/quote]
