[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it a cultural thing? My kid would have been slapped hard for talking to me like that. Yes, kids procrastinate and mine do too. My kids tell me that they will do something and take their own sweet time doing it. BUT , but they would talk disrespectfully to me only if they had a deathwish.[/quote] Yes. This IS a cultural thing. I am from a culture where children are never disrespectful in the way the OP's daughter is. I think it's two things: 1. We set the expectations very early on how you talk to your parents and elders in general and 2. We model that way of speaking ourselves. My kids would be far too scared to ever speak to me like that. Not that I would hit them, I never have ever. But because they know that speaking or behaving disrespectfully is about the worst thing they can do and that there will be serious consequences.
