It's her "job." That's just what kids do. Try to make believe she's not getting a rise out of you. If that doesn't work, one day simply spin around on your heels and put up your hand like a traffic cop as you calmly but firmly say, "Stop!" You have to be a bit of an actress when you are dealing with a daughter, but give her time, patience and love.
If it continues, then I suggest working with a trained therapist so you can learn some skills to get you through this rough patch.

Well, i do not think you are being punish. I going to assume that your daughter is going through something at this time.she could be at the age where she in not sure where she fit ins. such ar preteen, adulthood, are may her friends are going and doing things that you do not want her do or go at this time.
I have four daughters and they all are different but the same. they have done things to get my attention whether it was positive or negative. However, none of them has done drugs, went to jail or cost me a lot of money. i am not saying that your daughter has done any of the these things, but what i am say "this to shall pass".
Just keeping loving her and being there for her and do not take it personal.
Maybe plan a day just for you two and make here feel extra special.
That maybe all she need, is your undivided attention.
Good Luck

Im guessing you daughter is in her teens? If so, then just know that teenage girls can be very evil to their mothers. I grew up with myself and 2 sisters, and during our early teen years, we were always doing bad things, and making my mom feel like she did something wrong. We didn't feel that bad about it then, cause we had the "Holyier that thou" attitude, but as we got into our older teens years and adulthood, we felt terrible about it.
I just think that those years are very trying for mothers and daughters. As themother of 2 little girls, Im sure the phrase "What goes areound comes around" will come into full play when they are teenages! I'll get back what I did to my mom, so it all evens out. lol Good luck!

You're mother probably jinxed you when you were a kid. My mom used to tell me "I hope your kids are just like you so you can see what I went through!"
Your daughter is starting the "What goes around" portion of the expression. She's going to get the 2nd half sometime in her life. May not be today or tomorrow, next week or even next year, but probably when she's a mother.
Good luck!

I do gotta say that I do believe in what goes around comes around. Karma is a b**** and we all know it.
Your daughter is doing this now (how old is she?) because she doesn't know any better...OR...it's sad to say this, you have a daughter who is, for lack of a better word and not pun intended, just a bad seed. Daughters try their damndest to see how far they can push their fathers...I know I did...and now, I cherish my father. He is the best thing in my life and I would not trade him for the world.
She'll grow up...eventually...just, right now, don't take it too personal. We know how to make y'all feel bad...but then we do apologize for it later, whether it be verbal or not. :-)

Take the doormat sign off your back and take the welcome sign off your front. There is a saying that goes, "if you want people to stop stepping on you, you have to figure out what you stand for and stop lying on the floor".
We teach our kids how to treat us....we teach them what is allowed, what are the consequences and how to respond. You dont say how old she is. Make a list of your house rules---they dont have to be fair, they dont have to match mine---these are yours. Get it clear in your mind, then talk it over with a close friend----pick your fights. Get your consequences clear. Make sure YOU are living up to your own house rules. Then its time to put them into action. The best advice I was ever given was to make one or two rules that I really dont care about just for practice....that when when those things get challenged I can react (better to respond) with calmness and level-headedness. If she is under the age of 13....you need to get moving....her teenage years are going to bring a lot of opportunity, rebellion, hormones and confusion for her and she needs a safe, secure home to return to---she needs to know you say what you mean, you mean what you and you can be counted on.

Your not being punished. Your getting a taste of what you gave to your Mother when you were growing up. All kids go through the same stage. Don't worry, she will grow out of it. As they saying goes.

How about sitting down and trying to talk to your daughter? Maybe there's something bothering her that she doesn't know how to tell you about or maybe you did do something that hurt her. Sometimes the things we do are not always perceived as good by others.

You don't have to do bad things in order for bad things to happen to you. Life is not some game with rules. It is not like Yahoo Answers where you gain points by answering and loose points by asking. Deal with it. I don't intend to be me mean, but I had the same dilemma myself, and than I figured it out.
