Ok so few days ago i bought a sage to burn it to cleanse my house as i haven’t done for so long, my daughter 16 asked me what the hell is that it’s smell like shit. As I’m trying to tell her to stop talking like that it’s so inappropriate i started to feel this urge for crying and couldn’t stop the whole night. I wanted to do this as I’ve noticed that she’s being a very negative and hates everyone and everything not sure if this is a part of being a teenager or something else. She used to be a very happy outgoing when she was a bit younger but not anymore, buy the way she’s having a best friend that they hanging out every week at home and she blames the school to much to study as she is year 11

She is a teenager. They tend to be shitty little humans at this age. You can burn all the sage in the world and it won’t do anything. Buckle up mom! Be Consistent, don’t back down. You make the rules in your house!

Welcome to the joys of having a teenager. Firstly I’d lock that sh*t down. You’re still the boss! It could also be this friend she’s hanging out with. I’d try talking to her as mom and daughter first and if that doesn’t work I’d let the hammer fall so to speak

Poor hormone poisoned teenager. Life is so hard. Try lavender. Everywhere. Also TRY to sit down and talk with her. Maybe she’s going through something. Yes, of course she’s taking it out on you. Fortunately… she’ll grow out of it

Some of it is hormones, being a teen but it can also be peers. Cut her off from the bad influences. If she treats you like that she can stay in the house without communication with the bad influences.

People saying “just being teens”… Umm NO! That’s a child being Hella disrespectful! That’s what happens when there is no discipline in the home! You know why I didn’t speak like that to my mom?! Cause I woulda been knocked into next week!

I would definitely talk to her and ask her what’s bothering her because it could just be teen years or depression or something else like bf trouble or bullying. Communication is going to be the key here. Honestly, I wouldn’t get that worked up about the words and focus more on what she is feeling. Sending mama hugs to you.

Don’t burn sage, many people hate it, some are allergic. Cussing is honestly not that big of a deal, just offensive to you personally. Ease up. Life for teens is awful right now.

Lol she’s a teenager. Maybe you need to sit and talk with her. I left at 16 and never looked back.

Tell her if she wants to talk like that she needs to be aware and respectful of her audience. Meaning… if you don’t want to hear that language and grandma doesn’t want to hear it, specific friends don’t want to hear it, teachers/church, etc… then she doesn’t need to speak that way in their presence. However, if she has friends who also speak that way and don’t care… by all means, let them speak freely on their own. 
isn’t gonna hurt you if she’s dropping F bombs and such with her friends. If she continues to speak like that after you’ve set the boundaries and expectations that you do not want to hear it… then she will have consequences. Start with taking away that phone and freedom. She’ll likely respect your wishes after that!

I mean I’m sure we all spoke that way at 16 years old. There’s a lot worse things she could have said to you. The more you tell a teenager not to do something the more they will do it. Win/lose situation here. But on the bright side if this is the worst things she does… then I say you’re doing something right mama.

I don’t understand how someone can think it’s no big deal for a child to be cussing. IF We had of been cussing we would have had the crap beat out of us… Guess back then we had respect and knew right and how to keep our butts from being torn up…

A part of it I would say is being a teenager but there is definitely more to it than that. Has she ever had a therapist can you get her someone to talk to even a mentor?
She’s probably going through something out hanging with the wrong crowd, try talking to her like she’s her own person and not your child and it’ll probably help.
My mom just yelled and punished me for it, when really she was the reason I acted the way I did 
Not gonna lie, I know TONS of ppl who hate the smell of sage. My kids included. I still burn it when I choose to & they can suck it up . However, as far as cussing goes… my mom was like this growing up & I promise you it made talking to her about things or venting to her IMPOSSIBLE & miserable because if I cussed she would shut me down with correcting me & I can also promise she doesn’t care & won’t stop lol. All it did was make me annoyed with my mom & never wanna talk about anything. When I vented to friends & was angry, cuss words came out & it would feel better after when I got the whole thing out without being told to “watch your mouth” or stopped with “OKAY THATS ENOUGH I DONT WANNA HEAR YOU TALK LIKE THAT” because who truly gives a shit? As long as mine aren’t cussing AT me, I don’t care. Especially when they’re upset. My only requests is don’t cuss in front of your grandparents & those who we know would be highly offended & we as adults don’t even cuss, so my teen won’t be either but that’s as far as it goes for me. They’re just words. & I have the mouth of a sailor so I’m no one to tell anyone to watch their language lmao

Sounds pretty typical of a 16 year old pushing her boundaries and seeing what she can get away with. Calmly tell her that you would appreciate the respect of her not using profanity when speaking to you. She knows that she would never get away with talking to a teacher like that, so if you don’t approve, tell her so. Don’t cry, just firmly tell her “Stop it!” When you cry, you give her all the power. Unless she’s paying rent, she shouldn’t get to choose what you do in your house.

She’s a teenager. By the time my daughter left we had gotten physical even (family trauma) now at 20 she’ll tell anyone who asks that her momma is and always be her BFF😊 it’s hard, and even hell, but I promise you will make it through. Just ignore the nastiness and keep loving and guiding her. And LET her make age appropriate mistakes. They will never just listen to mom no matter what. You can say the sky is blue and you’re wrong simply because you’re mom lol

Plant sage AROUND your house, not burn it INSIDE your house. That shit stinks. It’ll bring out anyones inner demon when you burn that garbage 
16 year olds, are crazy, they get better with time.
Sounds like safe was the wrong choice.
You should smudged all that negative energy right out of her. Just smiled and said Sage sweetheart it gets rid of negative energy and then waved it all around her sweet little self.
Seriously though, pretty typical teen attitude. Just keep trying to find ways to connect and communicate with her.

You’re burning something she isn’t familiar with. You familiarized yourself with sage as a relaxing thing, she doesn’t have a relationship with the herb in that way. If you wanted her to, get her interested in aromatherapy in general even if she prefers other herbs over sage.

Tell her If she wants to act grown she can pay bills like she’s grown too. Definitely normal, teenage girls are assholes.
Sounds like she’s normal and coming into her own and you just don’t like it. Stop looking at who she was and see her for who she is today. She’s telling you school stresses her out, and you aren’t listening. You can’t cleanse stress away you have to deal with it. You need to help her figure out what helps her deal with stress.

Sage is not gonna take her stress and anxiety away
She’s a teen, it is hormones, also sounds like a bit of a independence/power struggle and even some depression. (I was like this as a teen too sad to say)
She’s 16 and sage smells like shit.
and she just used light swearing and expressed she doesn’t like the smell. Adults do that. She’s only 2 years from adulthood she’s gonna have opinions.

I struggle with my nieces feeling comfortable swearing around myself I understand they are old enough now to say the words but that doesn’t mean it’s respectful to say in front of anyone I’m huge on respect I feel like you’re more like me. Not saying she can’t swear but the way she’s wearing it
I’d Soap Her just kidding I really don’t know how I’m going to approach this I’m here for some knowledge I’m curious to see these answers but so far I’m sorry you’re being judged so wildly for asking for help 
This is normal teenage Behavior.
She’s a teen lol teens are like a diff level of human & so are toddlers…so don’t take it personal like the others are saying.
As a victim of SA, my behavior changed (not as drastic as others but still)… You’ve probably already done this but just make sure nothing’s “going on.”
Take care

I know times are very different I’m a seventies baby and trust me there is a reason why you will never find a wooden spoon in my home. Discipline does not mean physically hurting …that does have a lasting effect and can cause some trauma. It’s very hard to connect with teenagers sometimes I just wouldn’t resort to physically hurting her… Try to become involved in things She likes even if you can’t stand it take an interest in what she’s into . …it will make a big difference like if I have to watch one more episode of an anime show I’m going to barf but I will still sit through them because my teenage daughter loves it… there are different ways to build up respect
Teenagers in general can be pretty miserable. My daughter’s only 14 and, well, I’ll just leave it at that. They have their good and bad days just like everyone. In my case moments, cause the pleasant ones tend to be short and sweet. They don’t necessarily have all of the coping skills that we continue to develop into adulthood (which I personally need to constantly remind myself of),so they seem to be easily stressed and have anxiety. A lot of times it comes out as angry outbursts. High school can be demanding. Between school work, maintaining friendships, and in some cases athletics, clubs and jobs, it can be a lot. Also, I’ve never done or had a sage cleansing in my home, so I don’t know what it smells like, but I can imagine that it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Trust me, you are not alone in this.

Most people don’t believe in bad energies or how the Catholic Church named it “bad spirits” but I do. I personally don’t like burning sage, but I do clean my home with fresh water, cologne (Florida or flowers water), crunched powdered eggshells (you can find them in Amazon under “cascarilla”), white flowers petals. You ask for all the bad energy to leave your home while you light a candle and ask for peace at your home and clarity to your family members.
You can also take baths with this formula and add fresh milk to the tub 
and don’t dry yourself with a towel, let the fresh air dry the water in your skin.
Hope you find peace.
Normal teenage stuff! Pretty sure if I burn sage in my house my oldest daughter would run out of the house! Bye bye evil spirit
Just kidding.

I’d say she’s at the age where her period starts and this is purely normal hormonal teenage girl behavior… not to sounds harsh… and I mean this with all respect but, you’re definitely going to have to toughen up a bit with her lol because she is not going to get any better anytime soon. It will pass eventually.
