[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 209290"] It's a 15 year old girl thing. My mom and I would SCREAM at each other, she'd be jabbing her finger in my chest and I'd jab right back. I was a bit of a difficult child, but it was teenage stuff. There was baggage that made the behavior and anger/resentment worse, but the response is from immaturity, lack of life experience, lack of self control and hormones. Reclaim your position as the authority figure. Decided before hand - not in the moment - what you will and will not tolerate and what the consequences will be. That way you're not flying off in the heat of the moment and then changing position when you're feeling guilty. I have trouble with consistency. Especially when I'm not feeling well, I just don't want to deal with a battle. Because of this, the kids will push and push and push. But, when I stand up and use my mom voice and my mom look and put my foot down, it's a different story. [/QUOTE]
