dd1 is always answering back, she is in year 1, is this normal?

take you hand off the wallpaper dd (she always wipes her hand on the wall when eating) - im not touching the wallpaper, im touching the paint on the wallpaper.

come and get your shoes on - i just want to do x first/im just reading a few more pages/im busy playing

stop rocking your chair - im not because this isnt my chair its daddys chair because daddy swapped them last week dont you remember?

say sorry to the poor little thing (said when she knocked dd2 flying and walked off as if nothing had happened) - shes not a little thing, she my sister, dd2, dont you even know her name?

im am fed up of hearing her talk like this and when i say "dont be so rude/do as i ask" she says "but im just saying that it isnt the wallpeper and im right because it is the paint on top and im only saying blah blah blah

she was never cheeky or answered back but has become terrible this school year. she is on a table with some very streetwise kids at school, a few have teenage brothers and sisters and talk like teenagers wagging their fingers in their faces and swearing and have this week told dd1 santa doesnt exist and gone into detail about men dressing up at shops etc. but i know they arent to blame entirely as she is choosing to talk like this.
what do i do?
Smile

Try not to show her it's annoying you eg "yea, very clever dd, now do you want to get your shoes on, or do you want to stay home on your own" and "yes dd thanks for clearing that up, now apologise to your sister" all said in an uninterested, flat tone of voice.

yes, i suppose she is getting a lot of attention as it riles me so much and then lecture her on cheekiness etc.
she pushes my buttons at the moment, mainly done with a smile too, i need to ignore more.
