What do you do when your kids are disrespectful and talk back to you? My girls are getting really bad about this and it just makes me so angry! I don't feel like I deserve the disrespect because of all the stuff I do for them but at the same time I know they are kids. I have been taking away privledges but it doesn't seem to be getting any better.
When I was growing up, my mom used to put soup in our mouths. It was SO nasty. Yuck. I don't know if that's the right solution though. How old are your daughters? Could part of it be their age?
I would love some advice for this too because I have an 8 year old and 4 year old sons that talk back all the time. Whenever I tell them no or tell them not to do something they always reply with "why or give me some kind of story as to why they must do what they are doing." I get so frustrated and just don't know what to do.
Hmmm...I've never had this problem with my kids. Part of it is whenever they'd talk back, I'd give them a chance to correct their behavior. If that didn't work, then they'd get a spanking.
Keep taking away things from them, sooner or later it will work. Take away outings with friends too. Ground them for bad behavior. I think if you stick with it each and every time, they should get the hint and start being respectful.
I agree with flower. My 5 year old daughter is also starting to talk back but I made it my goal that I would not tolerate such behavior even though she is still young. I would give her a time out every time she talks back and converse with her about what she did after her time out.
My two boys are adults now. But the back talk is still there lol. When they were little I would ground them or spank them. Now I just talk to them and tell them how much it hurts me. They usually will say they are sorry and give me a hug. I don`t mind debating with them about something, but I will not tolerate disrespect just because they are adults.
