Yall attend church?
Who are your daughters idols?
The cell phone?
Material shite?
You as her parents?
Most likely there is a disordered centrist world view.
It's cute when they are 5 but becomes less so after for obvious reason.
Need to establish order. Also help her with learning about humility. Especially if she's an athlete or has a hobby in which all her parents spare time is devoted to making her successful in this/these endeavors. You become a slave to a child idol.
Not necessarily different from allowing you dog into your bed. Once their they see themselves as equal and won't listen to shite and begin to piss all over the house.
If none of these is your case (be honest in your introspection) then she might just be a brat then you may want to Start drinking and hope for the best.

I chose to have only sons. I recommend that next time.

Women coaches can be suspicious, too.

Wife sounds stupid and immature herself and as a coach I can tell you that in almost every school district coaches contacting kids on their phones is a huge no no

God help my son if he is stupid enough to text me while we are both in the house.
Assuming that is what you mean, texting you from his room.

I’ve heard these stories as well, but if she has a male coach that texts her one on one and is allowed to send her his location and vice versa, that’s a red flag to say the least. I’d go through those text messages if I were the dad.

One of mine is a 16 year old daughter. She is much sassier than her brothers were at the same age. They all hang out about the same at that age. The girl will just let you know when she is on a pissy mood. Kind of like a wife does. They are both females is my only reasoning. My mom was that way also so I guess they are all that way.
Taking phone away just does not work. It is easy to say but damn near impossible to do. I have turned off data before but really that does nothing with wifi everywhere.
I mean her car has a hot spot in it.
I just try my hardest not to talk back and get kisses when she acts that way. I find that giving hints as to her behavior not working with me seems to be the best form of communicating that type of stuff. Every once in while I just have to lay down the law and basically make her realize I made a decision and I am not in the mood to listen to it.

Lack of awareness is suspect. Only takes one person to say something happened for your life to be ruined.

Coaches/teachers do have text groups. Just tell her she can check her messages for about 30 minutes a night until behavior is better.

Swallow your pride and handle yourself and stay calm. Trying to over control a teenager will only make it worse. Try to understand her point of view. Talk to her about her interest and be genuine.
Being a teenager is tough enough and this generation has a ton of crap thrown at them everyday.
Prayers bro. I have 2 daughters and a son. We now have a calm house but it wasn't always that way.

I’m sure the coach probably uses GroupMe or something similar to send messages to the team. Doubt he’s texting the kids individually , but you never know unless you check.

It actually happens though. No, not “believe all women/girls” but I do think adults who spend/want to spend a large amount of time around kids should be questioned.

You can still use GroupMe to text one on one.

Just to clarify for everyone suspecting a coach communicating with athletes via cell phones, this is typically through a group TEAM messaging group or app (group me). My daughters coach has one with parents for game info and last minute changes, but one with all of the girls for practice, attendance conflicts, and general this what we will be focusing on at practice this week type info. It's not direct and routine private text messages - those are one off type things.

Im no expert but you have two options.
- Ignore the frick out of her and her mother. Just be done with it for a little while.
- Go have a heart to heart talk with her. Give her phone back, but tell her before she gets it back you and her needs to have a talk. Explain to her that you are not there to argue.
TALK to her about her being disrespectful. Is it to just you are other people as well? Teenagers are emotional and think they know everything. Tell her you love her and that you are not being an a-hole just to be an a-hole.
This is all based on the assumption you are being reasonable as well. But don't waste energy arguing. Take a new approach. If you are raising her the same as her two sisters then maybe you need to do something different because she is obviously not like then,

Key word there. What do you mean “typically?”

How about they keep it there? I think you are capable of forwarding information to your daughter.

So it’s on the table… again, are these coaches male?
