What would others do?
DD (age 17) got a B in one of her mock exams and I said 'oh dear' so she swore at me and put the phone down. Now I realise I should have said 'its only a mock' or similar and in this instance her reaction is understandable, but even so I'm a bit fed up with the swearing which is getting to be a habit. She de-friended me from facebook after I asked her to delete a swear word from her wall.
I am not prepared to tolerate swearing in my presence really so I would like to know how other parents of older teens deal with this.
What I propose to do is let her know I think it unacceptable and ask for an apology when she next speaks to me. And I shan't ring her back. Is this very overbearing?
