Well only we can change the way they talk to us, they dont "DO" it to us, they are "Allowed" to do it to us!If my daughter was to speak to me like that I would leave her in her bedroom all day long, no music, no nothing not even a book, solitary confinment! And have done, she would have done anyhgting to get out of there, and by the end opf the day I let her out and she tried the attitude on me, and I said fine off you go back to your room, I let her know I can play the attitude game too, she stopped quick smart! Its following through with punishment not just scare tatics cause they arn't silly, they work that one out real quick!I tell her to use her time in her room wisley and reflect on her poopy mood and how it affects everyone else in the house. No point letting them rule the roost or they will have no respect for anyone including them selves. Time out wont break there spirit, but letting them go on treating people like that will later on.

Oh you got to love teenages ha, they are at that stage where they are inbetween being a child and a young adult!
