Background: DD1 is 6 (eldest). She has started to show some real sass and attitude, and I don't just mean a bit of attitude here and there but real self entitlement and actually quite rude. She will completely ignore people and then claim she was shy or didn't hear them. She is cheeky and for example when her granny told her off last week, she shut the door in her face and said something along the lines of "yes well we will see about that won't we?".
She seems so unbelievably thick skinned that even when she is being corrected for her actions I almost wonder whether she is taking it on. It's like nothing phases her.
She is privately educated.
So today I was showing a new cleaner around my home. Cleaner was telling me about her 17 yo daughter helping her out during the school holidays. I said to DD "did you hear that- this lady's daughter who is now a big girl and 17 helps her out with her cleaning. Will you do that for me when you're older?".
DD look at me dead in the eye and says "but I don't want to be a cleaner?"
I was embarrassed, so I said "yes but with whatever jobs I have really, anything with my work too like this lady's daughter helps her with her work".
DD looks at me and says "but I am going to be a doctor and that means I will practice medicine. You don't practice medicine, so I won't be able to help you".
I was flabbergasted. Cleaner didn't know where to look.
I sent her to her room for 1.5hours where she sat and read. I've then called her down to tidy up her room.
I'm cancelling two activities she was due to have on next week and allowing her cousins/siblings etc to go, but not my daughter. She almost doesn't seem phased.
How should I deal with this sort of behaviour?!
