My daughter has always been such a great kid, until she started Jr. High this year. She's now constantly just downright hateful to me, her younger sis, and my husband (her stepdad). Like yesterday, my husband was using the restroom at home, and like men do, he was taking a bit longer cuz ya know, his stomach hurt. (LOL)Anyway, she yelled at the top of her lungs through the door, "Leroy, come on already! Get out of the bathroom! MY GOSH!!" And it was so hateful and so disrespectful and I had just HAD it with her bad attitude that I took her by her arm and made her face me and I said, "You DO NOT speak to your stepdad that way! Go to your room."
Lately, every time she gets hateful or defiant I punish her with a chore she hates..I make her fold one load of laundry each time she gets in trouble. Over two nights last week, she ended up folding 7 loads of laundry, but STILL didn't stop the rudeness!
I tried to get her into individual counseling, but our insurance won't pay!HELP!
