Please tell me I'm not the only one! I'm sure it's worse when they go back to school.
Just had an argument with 7 year old ds. I said you need to learn to behave blah blah blah, he said "you need to learn to do what I say". It was said with real venom and temper. I sent him straight upstairs and told him he can come down when he drops his attitude.
Why does he think he can speak to me like this, as though I'm the child and he's the adult? He doesn't get away with it and I'm so fed up.

do your dc ever talk to you with total lack of respect and rudeness?
