And just being consistent about it even though that is hard too. Parenting is such hard work! 3|2|I agree, also when my dd (who is also 11) gets way out of control we make her do phyiscal labor aka cleaning. Her bedroom, her bathroom, etc and she's unable to get her things back until the cleaning is done to our specifications. (thats the worst part of it for her lol)|jen_ron|bugsmamma@earthlink.net|16:57:47|11/15/2009|

Find some minor work for her to do around the house help her if you need to. When kids see the reward of work and that you can help them suceed they earn respect and they give it also. Take her to a habitat for humanity building site for a day and let her help thje interaction with other adults will help her realize that with respect you have success.

LOL
actually, I did what Joy said, talk to them and let them know they cannot speak to you like that, they are entitled to thier feelings but you are their mom and they need to be respectful of that. If they want to be treated with respect then they need to give it
stay firm !! (& good luck - it helps) 8|1|thanks ladies|gwens29|gwen41539@bellsouth.net|21:07:13|11/15/2009|
