Mine learned when I made her write reports on the words respect, self respect,disrespect, and self control. I quit letting her stay at friends houses and no going any where with out me or her step dad until she learned how to behave. I told her if she could not respect us she was not going anywhere where I could not control her because she was not going to make me look like a bad parent jsut because she wants to be bad.. I know I am not a bad parent she just wanted to act like she was the boss and I put a stop to it, now at 14 she does not treat us like that at all and has so much more respect for us. I thank God I broke that before my youngest learned anything from her now she is 11 and as sweet as pie. Good luck

i havent read any of the other comments so excuse me if i repeat anything that is already said...now...your husband needs to stop trying to spoiling her and trying to buy her affection...at 11...i could not even fathom my 8 year old when she is 11 or 21 being outta control like this....take everything she has...leave a bed in her room with the itchiest sheets you can find....all the stuff your husband has bought her, lock it up..in a chest..a closet anything with a lock..take her to bus stop...pick her up from the bus stop so you know she is in the house.....her clothes would be a white tee shirt and pair of jeans with some bobo's...spot check her in school...go up there and just randomly check on her in class..make her earn anything she gets by doing her chores and showing respect...these children are not entitled and we need to let them know they aren't if she doesnt respect you she isnt going to respect anyone else and thats not good in a world where people dont care about her...my children say yes mom..no mom...i had my son at 16 and i told him and still tell him..i am raising you, we are not growing up together...he's 13, he goes through his stuff, but he knows my wrath..he got in trouble in school and the teacher said he was so scared about what i would think and do he begged her not to call...but we talk openly..it's a respect, and a healthy fear to disapoint and the consequences that come with that....i would not yell and argue with her...what you say goes period...end of story....
