Fallon Nailed it she is Child take it from a Mom who has these ages of teens 19,16,13 ( I also have 26,24,21) there are younger ones as well 11,8,6,3 and 10 months I have never had any of them ever cuss at me. I think if fine if you want your kids to like you but if you never laid boundaries,structure and consiquences. Then you will have this type of fall out. I wish you luck but just remember that they dont have to like you and do not have to be thier friend.

PS my adult kids joke today and are grateful for the old school up bringing. I am sure with her being such a well adjust daughter she will see in the end its the best thing for her.
