Answer 1

Lordy Lordy.. I think I would have taken the phone right then and there! That would have been it. No phone. If she can't respect her MOM she don't deserve privileges like a cell phone.


But off the record.. I LOVED how you typed your daughters behavior.. I could totally hear a teenager talking in that tone!

Answer 2

i personally feel that 13 is a bit young to have a cell phone but okay whatev. as a high school junior, i feel that is an invasion of her privacy. no, she shouldnt talk back to you like that and most young girls today are sassy especially as the generations continue.. plus I use to hate it when my parents did that so i know where yur daughter's coming from. what's on the phone that you REALLY need to see? if it's something that's really important then you don't have a very open relationship with your daughter because she's hypothetically hiding something from you. if it's no big deal, just leave it. she just wants to experience her own sense of privacy assuming that she's lacking it at home. having your own phone at that age makes you feel more responsible, grown up, and so on and so forth. to sum it all up, adequate punishment might be to take away her phone for a while [if that's all she does all day i.e., texting and the phone glued to her head] or ground her for a little bit. explain to her that you want to know what's goin on in her life and that she should respect you and not talk to you in that tone because you are her mother. if it seems to continue, another form of punishment might be to change your phone plan to the FIREFLY phone. it only lets you hold 20 phonebook entries and you can only recieve incoming and outgoing calls with the numbers stored in the phonebk. this give you a sense of control over her phone. or you can talk to your now cellphone provider and see if there's a way you can limit her texting or minutes....i'm like 80% sure you can do that, but not all companies do.

hopefully this helps....

Answer 4

Easy one. Give her the option of no phone for 2 weeks or no phone for two weeks. Explain that each improper act involving the phone will result in a new punishment which will be two weeks longer than the last. Thirteen is still a child and if she starts disrespecting you now it will only get worse, Work on the disrespect harder than the phone thing which is only a symptom, once you get the respect worked out the phone will take care of itself.

Answer 5

slap her in the mouth, put her on phone punishment for a month, and tell her do not talk to you like that anymore. You're an example of the types of parent thats scared of their child, then you wanna send em off to school and they act the same way with their teachers, b4 long it has gotten out of hand and you have no control and your 13 yr old will be running the house. Get a backbone!

Answer 6

I agree with the above, no warning either take the cell phone away for a week (the first time) or have it turned off. Having a cell phone at her age is a privilege, not a right. Showing disrespect for you at this age (especially in front of one of her friends) is only going to get worse as she grows into a full fledged teen.

Answer 7

Take the phone for a few days, so she knows you aren't as stupid as she thinks you are. You could have a talk with her about treating others the same way she would want to be treated, to get across the fact that no one wants to be talked to the way she did to you.

My Dad, father of 8, tells me that it's amazing how smart a parent gets while the child ages from 13 to 21.

Answer 8

The proper response is to take her cellphone for a few days. The drastic response (if she is running up huge bills like some teens) is to CANCEL the cellphone and give her a Tracphone.

The internet shorthand you used on this question was inappropriate. It makes you look uneducated and that is not the response you want. Please take the time to spell out words next time.

Answer 9

Take the phone away until she learns to have respect. Take it and stay firm. Tell her when she learns respect and appologizes she might get it back. keep it at least a few days and if she gets mad and disrespectable about it take other things from her. (Like her tv, and room entertainment items) or ground her. I'm a teen and would never talk to my mom that way..YOU NEED TO STOP HER NOW...While she is only 13 because if you don't it will only get worse.

Answer 10

I think a good grounding is in order. I would say no phone privileges (of any kind) for at least a week, and/or make her write sentences. My daughter used to hate that worse than anything.
