I don’t tolerate stinky ass behavior. Being a teenager doesn’t give anyone an excuse to be disrespectful. Same as being a terrible 2. People are making excuses for the kids behavior but when the kids make mistakes they quickly blame the parents. I hate Americans culture they gave kids too much freedom and crucified parents for discipline their kids. That gives the kids the power to be disrespectful and do whatever the hell they want. And nobody will touch them🙄. Teach them while they’re young. Not when they get older and be mouthy

My oldest has been evil lately as well lol she’s 12 & she will not talk to me about her feelings anymore and I try to let her know I’m not the one to judge and I just wanna help her but nope …. So idk what to do now either
It’s ok to protect your family from unseen evil from beyond but I would also have a calm open conversation with her and ask her if something is happening in her life that’s upsetting her. With social media thrown in the mix kids can be cruel on a wide scale. Kids are cruel and school is brutal. She is going through a change becoming a woman as well. I would talk to her and let her know if somethings upsetting her your there for her if she needs to talk to someone. And if she has a cell phone and or laptop I suggest monitoring her activity because there are people on the internet that are demons that are looking for kids to exploit. They pretend to be a kid to lure them in. Think back to when you were becoming a teenager. It’s normal and it happens to everyone. Hang in there. It’s gonna be a bumpy ride!

Sage does smell disgusting and your child is a teenager and they have the same self obsorbed attitude that two year olds have lol it’s all natural.I think when we see that first sign from our kids that they are no longer sweet natured and easily entertained by what we are doing it’s hard on our hearts.It’s so different to hear a two year old say “what you doing momma? That smells stinky!” Than a 16 year old say “Eww that smells disgusting mother! Why would you put that in our house?? now my room is forever tainted by the fumes of your rotten plant ugh!!” Lol

Are you heading into menopause? I’m more worried that you cried all night over something so relatively minor. Get checked by a doctor and see a therapist if it could help you survive the difficult teen years AND the craziness of menopause. Teens are learning to be their own person in order to separate from you and become a responsible adult, but it’s a really rocky transition—for both of you.
Get her into whatever healthy activities where she has an interest: sports, art, music, dance, activism for a good cause, animal welfare, gardening, wherever she can find good people and feel needed or heard and stay out of trouble. With luck there will be other responsible adults she can talk to about life.

Maybe get one of those oil diffusers? I have that and they do have sage oil. But I mix it in with lemon oil and cedar oil. It smells sooo good! It’s not as overpowering and you only need a few drops. So they last a long time.
Welcome to raising a teenager…oh they are vicious, truly. Try really hard, and it is so very hard, but try not to take this time frame in her life personally. They do eventually come back around to being that sweet soul child that you raised, but for a couple of years or more, buckle up…it’s going to be a very bumpy ride.

Teens are awful creatures. They’re full of hormones an cusswords. The cussing wouldn’t bother me as much as the disrespect. When she talks to you like that, she looses privileges. Let her know she’s allowed to express herself, but she needs to do it in a respectful way. Respect goes both ways though, so be sure not to sage when she’s around since she’s already made it clear the smell bothers her. Be an example of what you want from her. Good luck, Mama!

I had sooo much trouble with my daughter’s attitude and disrespect, for years, she even got in some legal trouble at age 18. She is 22 now and she is THE MOST AMAZING YOUNG WOMAN. Do not cry Mama, please… I promise you if you keep being the AMAZING Mother that you are being, don’t give up on her, and just pick your battles… I PROMISE SHE WILL SNAP OUT OF IT. All teens are so stressed over school, social and dating issues… There can be so much going in in her life that she is not telling you. Her attitude has so much more to do with her frustration, feelings and thoughts then trying to disrespect you or upset you. YOU CAN MAKE IT THROUGH THIS AND SO CAN YOUR DAUGHTER. YOU WILL LOOK BACK AT THESE MOMENTS AND REALIZE THAT IT WAS JUST A STAGE, A MOMENT IN TIME. My Daughter is now 22 and she is my best friend.

Teenagers are going through a major brain development phase…almost like toddlers are going through.
Their brains are being rewired from child brain to adult brain. And their behavior reflects that.
Sometimes you’ll see responsible adult behavior, other times you’ll see child benefit.
This doesn’t give her a pass. You still need to parent, and command respect. But with compassion because some of the behaviors are due to brain rewiring.
Also what the others have said about hormones, she doesn’t understand it, but the hormones that are flooding through her body right now have her emotions all out whack.
So…brain rewiring + emotional overload…
You’ll both survive this.

Mood changes when you’re a teen. Hanging out with friends all the time is normal at that age. What isn’t okay is that she swore so comfortably when talking to you. Sounds like she needs to be grounded? If you are truly concerned maybe see about her getting into therapy.
Keep burning sage and giving and sending love. Be happy, be the example.

It’s goes with the whole teen girl thing. I raised two. She is just trying to test boundaries. Peers have a lot of influence on them too at this age. Spend time with her. Find out what she would like to do. Maybe have her invite a friend to come along. That way you can see what kind of influence friend has on her.
With all due respect, no sage, no oil, or anything will help with a mouthy disrespectful teenager. However being a parent first and friend second is your best option. Do not cry over this, better yet teach her to respect you and your home or else. This truly is normal for a teenager but don’t allow it! If you allow her to run over you now she will for the rest of her life. Their attitudes also are a reflection of the ones they hang around at times also so if the friend is negative and bringing negativity to your home then stop that immediately. You are the parent not her! You got this mama! We all have been through it but the sooner you set boundaries and put a stop to this the better.

I mean if you started burning a bunch of sage in the house without asking, I would have said worse.
While it is your house, if it affects the other people in your household, it’s common courtesy to talk about it.
As far as the cursing goes, if it bothers you, I would let her know that it bothers you, & that you just want her to not use that kind of language around you. I don’t get it, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t a boundary that can be respected. 
Honestly I’d just ask your daughter if she would benefit from talking to somebody. Life is hard, & at that age you’re still learning so much, & it can be overwhelming sometimes. I mean realistically speaking, we’d probably all benefit from talking to a therapist in periods throughout our life.
All the best teenage girls can be savage, big hugs,

I feel like I’m one of the few teenagers that don’t cuss at their parent(s). I’m respectful to as many people as I can be, I take care of my grandma by myself, and still balance school. Sure it gets exhausting and I’ve also struggled severely with mental health. However, I wouldn’t think of ever cursing at my parent. She’s done a lot for me so the least I can do is help out and be respectful. I’ve given up so much to be a full time care giver to my grandma while other kids my age are out partying. Your daughter might be having some trouble at school, possibly not getting enough sleep, or she’s just irritated and doesn’t understand why. It’s hard being a teen, I try not to have the mentality of “if I can act this way so can everyone else” but it’s so hard. I live with my grandma so a lot falls on me. I do the laundry, I do the grocery shopping, I do the yard work, I maintain our appointments, I do the cleaning, I help her with bills since her memory isn’t always the greatest, I get her drinks and I cook our meals. I’ve also struggled with sh for 6 years. I’m 15, turning 16 in a month and I’ve handled all of this for a year. If I can do all of that, balance school, do a nursing program through my school which adds extra work, help my grandma, and try and keep up with my mental health and I can stay respectful 90% of the time I don’t think it should be an issue for everyone else. I’m not perfect by any means, and I make A LOT of mistakes. I will never, ever, curse at my parent, take advantage of her, or purposely be disrespectful. I don’t think it’s hard to be a decent human being. Talk to your daughter though. She might need you. I know it doesn’t seem like it, but most times teenagers feel pressured to not go out or be nice to their parent(s) anymore because it’s “embarrassing”. I hold my grandmas hand in public and take pictures of us everywhere. Pretty sure SHE is the one embarrassed of me.

Pre teens and teenagers are soul sucking little brats, but it doesn’t last forever. They come back to you apologize and say those words you feel you’ve waited forever to hear “Mom you were right” Do a lot of praying God will help you through some of the rough rough nights to come. Plead the blood of Jesus over your house and your child/children and yourself. Ask him to give you the GRACE to get through it.
With all due respect you need to grow thicker skin if you’re raising a teenager. I have a 12-year-old, she’s not even a teenager yet but with all of her hormones raging if I cried every time she was mean to me I would be crying all day every day.

Check both of your period times. Women who live together often have periods around the same time.
Next go to your doctor and see if you are starting menopause. The crying all night is a good sign. See if you can get on some hormone meds.
Lastly, your daughter is acting like a normal teen.

Honestly at that age I was absolutely terrible. Hormones raging moods up and down it’s definitely normal but she should probably get some counseling and have an outlet like sports or something extracurricular so you can keep her out of trouble and she’s not constantly dumping all her negative emotions out at home. Therapy weekly & talk to the therapist about helping her develop some coping strategies and techniques to help express negative emotions in a healthy way & not directed at family members.

don’t buy sage. I was told that you should always collect it yourself (ask permission from the people of that land first! And always give back when you take) or trade for ir from your local reserve as that sage was picked with good intentions. aswell as your daughter is having a hard time trying to communicate with you just try and be open and listen even when she triggers you.
I had my mama crying all the time when I was in high-school and now I regret it so much… one day she’ll see.

Our son does not cuss either
Is she 11 or in the 11th grade? If 11 years old if she hasn’t she might be about to get her monthly cycle. Other than that just a teenager.
I’d limit her time with the best friend so it’s not every week, if you’re noticing she is more rude or irritable after spending time with him/her.
Most of it is just typical for her age. Just try to keep her busy with things she wants to do/likes to do but remind her that her grades must be kept up or the privileges go away. You could even let her get a little part time job. The extra spending money and freedom could help.
Crying because of the fact that she thinks that sage stinks? I’m sorry but that’s funny.

I wouldn’t take it personally, maybe the smell does bug her if she hasn’t been around it much. Maybe explain to her why you’re burning it, as for the language she could be saying a lot worse, and is most likely feeding off the negative attention you give her when she used those words. Try ignoring the bad behavior and not giving her fuel to feed the fire. As long as she’s not hurting herself or others or doing anything illegal it’s 100% okay to ignore the swearing.
Are you asking if she’s possessed? Because if you are, I have a firm belief that all 16 year olds are🤣
I wasn’t 16 too long ago, and I probably wasn’t much different from her. Growing up is hard. The brain is developing, your bodies changing, and high school sucks🤷🏼♀️ Maybe just give her a journal and say “this is yours for your feelings. I won’t read it unless you give me permission to, but you need an outlet”
She learnt the language from somewhere. Tell her to try to use nicer and kinder words instead of just straight away swearing. To be fair sage smells bad to some people so could have genuinely smelt like absolute sh!t to her.
Maybe she has something personal going on. Maybe try talking to her
Sage the shit out of her room when she’s gone.

Sounds like she is telling you she needs more suport with school. Also at that age it’s a power struggle for dominance of the home
I mean it does smell like shit tbh

It’s supposed to ward off demons and bad spirits yeah obviously they gonna be complaining if you burning it around them. At least it works.
