[QUOTE="Fran, post: 11600, member: 3"] You have my sympathies. I would have been devastated. You sort of keep your defenses up with difficult child but easy child's let us let our hair down. The fact she talks like that about anyone but especially someone she loves is very obnoxious. Fortunately, easy child's usually learn from their mistake. I'm not sure I would punish her as much as explain that you are a person with feelings. How would she feel if she overheard her mother telling a friend those very words? Sometimes I think kids think we are just robots. I don't about you but I wasn't born a mom(as my kids think)We know they are trying to be grown up but that sort of talk does not signal maturity but ignorance. She wouldn't talk to a stranger on the street that way, why talk like that to her family. Ugh. You can't dictate that she talk nice to you or show you appropriate respect with punishment but I wouldn't knock myself out doing anything other a roof and food for a while. In case you haven't heard good stuff from your kids today, you are not a piece of **** but a really smart,hard working, competent woman. We can't pick our kids but if we could we would all pick kids that had a civil tongue in their heads. [/QUOTE]
