She will be better for it, JMO. We don't spank, but I wouldn't be against it. At my daughters ages we punish them by taking away their fav things. (Kills them every time). My husband would not put up with either of my daughters talking to me that way. We are very big on respect. Talk to her about why you spanked her, and how it was wrong to call her mother those names.

You and your wife really need to get on the same page with punishment. Right now your wife is like the boy calling wolf, your daughters won't believe her, and keep talking back. Make sure to seperate the good report card talk, from what she did wrong. I tell my girls all the time, that they are good girls overall, they just get naughty sometimes.

Good Luck!
