[quote=Anonymous]yelling solves nothing. I was once like this and had to take a hard look at myself and spent time making changes. I found a person to talk to to try to understand why I was so emotional when I felt like the teens weren't doing as they were expected and that I was losing control over the house. These are control issues and I'll tell you after a couple years looking back, I am still repairing relationships with my older teens and working hard to remain calm when things go wrong (minor car accident, coming home late, email from teachers about missing assignments). Honestly, remaining calm allows for a conversation and for appropriate consequences and hopefully learning to take place. Are we perfect no, but our kids look up to us and your behavior toward your daughter explains why she yells and disrespects. You probably need to apologize for the overreaction. Good luck OP[/quote]
