[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a mom to six daughters (27,25,22,20,18,15) and I always made it clear that we don’t tolerate disrespect  in the name of “teen moods” or hormones. 2 of them were a little disrespectful mainly around 12-14, and we treated it the same way we treated anything else, there were consequences. It should’ve never got the point where your kid feels comfortable saying these things. [/quote]

Our daughter often just doubles down when given a consequence. It's gotten to the point where she just says something even more awful, and/or she refuses to go to sleep, refuses to eat, or she refuses to speak to us for days.  [/quote]

Then there must be more going on.
Maybe get her a psych evaluation.[/quote]

This is so far from the realm of standard teenage moodiness/testing the boundaries. It’s crazy that you let it get this far and still seem to walk on egg shells. 
To start I’d take away all privileges (devices, internet, money, etc) unless it’s needed for schoolwork. She can earn back things if she’s consistently kind. The second there’s a hint of rudeness, take it all back. 
You also don’t mention if she’s in sports or does any type of physical activity. If not, I’d put her in something asap, even if it’s just teen strength training or a running program. 
Still, this sounds like the emergence of an underlying psych disorder or a chemical imbalance of some sort[/quote]
