[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 156321, member: 3626"] I thought I'd die laughing at the you want me to hate you comment. I think I would have said YES! I understand Wynter is going through all the hormonal stuff and that she really does have some issues. However, she needs to understand that she doesn't have the right to talk to you any way she chooses. Getting frustrated is not an excuse. As hard as it is for our girls, they need to learn to control their mouth. If they don't learn it at Wynter's age, they're going to have a hard time surviving as they get older. You, my dear, are a wonderful mother. I think many of us would have at least seriously considered knocking our child's teeth out rather than wondering what we were doing wrong. You have done nothing wrong. It is the age, the issues, not the parenting. I'm glad that she at least admitted that it is frustration talking. It is a shame she couldn't have the common courtesy to apologize for her behavior. I think until you got a sincere apology, her little world would come to a screeching halt. No Sprite, no Ziti, no Sims or non-school computer time, no TV, no cute little gloves or black outfits. If she insists on making you miserable, the least you can do is reciprocate. Sometimes we really do need to use that shovel to get the message across that we are there for them, we do do things for them, that we do love them. (Kind of like my turning my daughter into a tenant. It wasn't fun but it did let her see just how much I did in fact do for her and how much I really did care.) [/QUOTE]
