Thats it! Thats it exactly. Its the tone! Its all you can do to stop yourself wanting to kill them!

No one else has ever spoken to me like that. It hurts when its your own child that is speaking to you like you are some lower form of subhuman life and unworthy of her time, let alone a civilised conversation.
Yup. And then when you call her on it... it's "What? all I said was ...."
..yes but it's the way you said it...."well, I'm just saying"(spoken like you are a true imbecile and have never known or understood anything in your life and are a waste of time to speak to now...)

oh mrsmac I could hear that convo perfectly.... I have even thought about taping Sav so that I can play it back to her.

- I should add at this point, she has been quite good for the last week or so. Generally agreeable & not too much attitude. It won't last though it never does....oh well at least we get some respite, otherwise there would be bloodshed.
