or do i relent. she is nearly 12.

ive been at work all day. get home to do dinner and she says she doesnt want curry. ok says i, so what do you want. she says she will get something later. too knackered to argue (i usually make one meal and its eat it or starve!) i let her off. all the while im cooking it im asking do you want something now or later? she says later.
so as soon as my backside touches the chair to eat mine she suddenly needs feeding.
i said wait until ive eaten then ill do something and she flounces that its ok she'll not have anything then - really stroppy! so ive smacked her bum (first time EVER) and sent her to her room saying she can do exactly that and have nothing!!
she really ticked me off! we normally get on really well but tonight she is lucky she just got a tap on the arse tbh...
so do i relent now? was i being unreasonable? i think im a bit pmt-ish...
please be gentle if you think im totally out of order....

Tell her the kitchen is hers, ask before using anything that may be for another meal and leave he kitchen tidy.
