As a result, said child thinks I'm dirt, walks all over me and swears at me. She took it as proof of her superiority and thus my inferiority, not our equality. A lot of us say our decks are like children to us ...
That's cuz she's a teen..she'll outgrow that Then she'll come to know you're far wiser and more insightful than she ever knew...
My teen son is being a real trial right now too I just look at his older brother and hope some day he knows just how genius I am too! (Of course there's a fair chance his older brother merely knows its pointless to argue...haha)
