Who has a teenager with a big mouth?

Question

How aften has your teenager said she or he hates you? I figure if my kid says that then I'm just doing my job as a parent.
What bothers me is all the verbal disrespect I hear when my teenager doesn't get her way.
No curse words ,but the way she talks to her parents and siblings is very disrespectful.

Answer 1

David, you're not alone, honey. I have a teenage daughter, and am experiencing the same thing. Don't listen to Jessie -- I think she's a teenager herself. We do NOT have to "earn" the respect of our children. We have to feed them. (haha j/j) seriously, I sometimes find myself feeling that I love her, I just don't "like" her....she has quite the mouth....but according to her grandmother, so did I at that age (although I cannot say i recall...) Girls are worse than boys. More drama, more hormones, more exaggeration. We shall overcome. Till then, get cable in your room, a lock on your door, earplugs, and a roll of duct tape. hahahaha...

Answer 2

My daughter recently turned 17. (I'm dad). We get along great. I rule the roost with a firm hand, but we talk and negotiate everything. (Even though I always get my way in the long run anyhow.) I've always been able to reason with her, but that was after spanking her into submission as a little kid. :) It scares me how much she looks up to me and respects me. I feel like I'll let her down big time some day.
She can be a tad disrespecful to her mother. But then her mother doesn't try to reason with her on a logical level. Like a lot of women, she just emotionally responds, which is not always a good choice.
My daughter has a long way to go in learning to treat her brother decently, though. I take that with patience. Someday they will learn to be supportive of one another and she will regret being unnecessarily harsh with him.
My moral? ....... lighten up. This, too, shall pass. Talk. LISTEN. Avoid the drama.

Answer 3

I have a teenage daughter that says more that she hates me. She often calls me the "B" word and everyother word out of her mouth is "F" this and "F" that. To top this all off she has a son almost 4 and a 10 month old daughter that hear this all day long. I have no idea where she gets this from because I know she was raised to have more respect than this. Could it be the youth of this period? I hope someday soon our teens will rediscover the meaning of the word "respect"

Answer 4

there replaced right into a time even as young ones did not seem on a clinical examiner's table. Now that is an typical prevalence. there replaced into time young ones weren't rude to adults, no matter if or not they were be certain, associates, or strangers. making use of profanity in the presence of an human being replaced right into a no-no. Now, mom and dad and their young ones are up in fingers in case you assert a note to them. certain they have nasty mouths.

Answer 5

All adolescents go through a stage in puberty where they suddenly realise themselves to be unique of the surrounding world. They often become independent, private and strive to prove themselves, usually to their friends.

I think what your daughter is saying is because she's no longer your little girl that your nursed and took care of. Of course, that isn't to say she's not, but she no longer considers herself to be helpless. There's nothing you can really do about this except drop subtle hints that you still love her, and that she's not being very sociable to her siblings. Hopefully, soon, she'll go through that stage and realise you're worthy of her respect and admiration.

Psst. I'm a 15-year-old >.<

Answer 6

Are you her parent? She should have been taught before she was a teen how she can and can not talk to you and others. I am 5'0: with a 5'7" , 200 lb 14-year -old son. all it takes from me is a look and he shuts up. I taught him early that I am in charge and as my mother told me when I was 17 "You will respect me out of fear, or you will respect me out of love, but you WILL respect me! " I have never forgot those words, (or the @ss beating I got) and I realized I do respect her out of love for all she has done and is doing for me.

Parents today try to hard to be their childs friend instead of their parent.

Answer 7

i am a teen with a big mouth and sometimes when my mom says i cant do something with my friend or go anywhere i say i hate her i don't mean it i am just trying to get her to feel like i do. it is wrong know but all teens say they hate their parents and it is not because they really do saying you hate someone means you wont them to die and i don't hate my mom i love her and your kids love you no matter what they say!! you are just trying to protect them and they think you are doing wrong but soon they will realize that you were right and one day the will be glade that you did it they will thank you someday even though the will swear that they never will trust me they will and you are doing rite keep protecting them for their own good!!!!

Answer 8

Thats when you have to put your foot down. If you let her walk all over you and the rest of your family it will keep getting worse and send the message that it's okay for her to do. You have to talk to her and explain to her why it's not okay for her to do what she does - odds are it will go in one ear and out the other, but she will hear you when you take away spending money, the phone, tv, computer, cell, etc. Kids at that age only understand when their luxuries are taken away from them.

Answer 9

Then why is this teenager being allowed to be disrespectful? Somebody certainly isn't telling this kid to shut up and show some respect.

Answer 10

As a teenager I think every parent with a teen has a teen with a big mouth
