I'm Very Easy Going

My 15 year old daughter has a friend over, they’re pottering around in the kitchen making snacks. At one point my daughter says “mom, You a beeyatch-just kidding.” I’m like huh? Ok, whatever.

I know she’s singing lyrics or some meme or something and just being silly.

Her friend was in genuine awe and says “oh my god I’d be texting you from my grave if I said that to my mom.”

Yea thats an insult i would have not taken lightly

@JaggedLittlePill she wasn’t insulting me 😂 My kid knows I can take a joke. If she was actually calling me a bitch things would have ended very differently!!

@Fallflower it most certainly would have been different

I don't have kids, so I really can't comment on how to respond in situations like that. You know your daughter best. If you think it was just her singing goofy lyrics, then no need to get upset.

That is pretty tame compared to some of the music my kids have listened to. Lol
you know your daughter and know if she meant it or was just playing

Are there other options to discipline?

@SW-User I wouldn’t have thought anything of it if her friend hadn’t been so amazed. Would you have been mad?

@Fallflower I wouldn't have been mad but certainly would have said "Excuse Me?"
Fallflower · 46-50, F
@SW-User well yeah I would normally too but it was her tone of voice, I knew it was just a joke.

I would still talk to her and tell her when she does that in front of her friends it bothers you and they may not understand that she is kidd8ng.
Fallflower · 46-50, F
@Ccrider63 yep, agreed. Thanks.

If I was you, I will show the kid who is the boss. Fun n games is one thing, insulting someone is and won't be tolerated.

humor is all about context. I'm sure if someone else did the same thing to you it wouldn't be taken so well. Most of us wouldn't.

At least she didn’t say it under her breath!

As long as it was in fun, all is good

So cute🙂
The friend was obviously taught to respect her parents. 😥

@bijouxbroussard I guess I have a different relationship.. my kids respect me and are most often very kind to me. They also kid around and I’m always kidding around too. A moment earlier she had made me a tray of tea and biscuits just to be sweet. So I dunno, maybe she got me all super mellow so she could show off to her friend just how mellow I can be?
