So my daughter has been having horrible cramps, and with her hormones out of whack,
she has been pissy, and short with us in verbal responses and arguing.
I've been getting pretty-loud, and verbally-aggressive with her when she back-talks, especially to her mother, or when she is told to do something, and pulls the "it's fine", when things clearly aren't, since she isn't getting done what needs to be done...
I reached down and grabbed a hold of my NOT IN THIS HOUSE drill instructor-type retorts, and "shut-that-sh!+-down" (Like Negan on the Walking Dead), before she can even get half way through complete an argumentative phrase.
AFTER shitting that BS down, I explained to her that we are her boss right now, and if she doesn't do what she is told, JUST LIKE AT A JOB, her boss could yell at her also for not doing what she is told, or fire her, and if she wants to do what her ideal career plan is, then she better just do her job, the way we tell her to do it... if "her way" isn't working...
"SET A LOUDER ALARM ON HER PHONE" for wake-up, as the soft, passive noises hippy-dippy gentle wake up alarm sounds CLEARLY aren't working to wake her, and I had to drive her to school today, and she was late, as she didn't listen and set a better alarm tone, and missed the bus.

Am I wrong here?
Going overboard?
