Well as the owner of this site you would think I have all the answers but sadly no :( My daughter is causing me problems at the moment. As most of you will no I have 1 child of 8 next month and 2 step children who are also 8 in March. The problem is my daughter when she gets with the other two gets very cocky and has started answering me and her step dad back (really badly). We live in a pub and this weekend she answered one of the cleaners back and swore at her. I was absolutely gob smacked when the cleaner told me and mortified. I apologized profusely and got my daughter to as well. I punished her today. My problem is her behaviour is getting worse on a daily basis and I am looking for some advice on how to deal with it. Is there anyone out there who has been in the same situation?
