[QUOTE="kris, post: 11605, member: 74"] <font color="purple">karen, i have a slightly different perspective of what happened. as both my kids got older we had quite a conversation about getting angry with-mom & what was appropriate & what wasn't. cussin mom to her face definitely was on the NOT APPROPRIATE list of course. i did tell them, however, that if they felt the urge to curse me out to remove themselves from my presense...go outside, share it with-friends, do it in their rooms. out of my earshot. your daughter did not curse you out to your face. you'd left her room & closed the door behind you. she had a reasonable expectation of privacy when talking to her friend on the phone. it was painful & very unfortunate that she didn't give you a few more seconds to get out of earshot. it sounds like she apologized & is truely remorseful. i'm betting she will be more careful in the future to make sure you have cleared the area before expressing her anger like that. if she gives you a sincere apology i'd offer her a cup of tea to share with-you & move on. in her room, behind a closed door = a resonable assumption of privacy. she never meant for you to hear her harsh words. kris </font> [/QUOTE]
