You’re not wrong. She shouldn’t talk to you like that or steal. I would say if she won’t talk to you then see if someone else can talk to her to see where these behaviors are stemming from. She might be going through something and acting out. I think not rewarding negative behaviors and being consistent with consequences, such as her calling you names and stealing, means no majorette was the right call.
@Jamie thank you because I feel like I'm not going to spend my hard earned money on no kid that disrespects me
I feel the same way about my 11 yr old son , his mouth and smart remarks is driving me insane 😖
Yeah my Son is 11 he tried it once and will never try it again the gentle parenting only goes but so far with me lol
@Juanita right I'm tired
I hear you. Have you considered therapy? This is literally the age that hormones start taking over. If both you and she can get some tools in your toolbox to stay regulated and the best ways to handle this ish, then we all might make it out of this still in contact with our kids. (My son is 11 and he's also started the stage, not quite as intense, but we're working on it)
Omg. I think this is the age of lying. My 11 y o son lies about EVERYTHING. From homework to his dirty room. It feels like fighting a losing battle. Think we need a boot camp for these kids.
You’re not wrong. Those things are a privilege. She shouldn’t be acting that way. When my daughter started with an attitude I had to figure out the root cause. It was def the TV and music she was listening too. I put parental controls back on her phone and took her video games. Period. It helped she had to find other things to do and I could tell her attitude and responses changed a lot. But set boundaries and stick to them. She has to learn to respect!
Whew lord this sounds like me! Mine is also 11 dad is not close and she just takes my things without asking. . But to me doing nothing is a reward
You're describing my 12 yr old to the T
