I can’t even imagine what my dad would have done to me or my sister if we were throwing things and all out screaming for hours because he had already established the law and we knew it was not an option that would end well for us at all. I remember slamming a door hard as frick once, once- that never happened again. My sister and mom would get into it during the teen years a lot but always remember thinking “haha” when dad would swoop in and shite all over my sister’s nonsense immediately.

Sounds like your daughter is an inverted porcupine and mother just found her diary

No child of mine is going to disrespect and argue with their mother/my wife at all…much less for 3 plus hours

Get a hold of your damn household.

My middle daughter was about 15 when shite elevated between her and Mrs. 19 that she swole up at her Mom.

My wife grins, puts down her phone and assumes a defensive stance. In a calm, low tone she says,

"Little girl, I was an All-State gymnast in High School.

Your arse? Funions & TikTok...so say when."

Mom hasn't been challenged again.

Take your wife's side.
If wife is wrong, do not call her out in front of a child.
Tell your daughter to learn her place and respect your wife and her mother.

I have a decent idea what mine would have done.

I hardly remember seeing/experiencing the belt in use, but I still vividly remember what the belt meant. Pretty sure dad threaded that needle perfectly in that regard.

I don't ever recall either of my sisters being like the typical dramatic girl. Credit to them for sure, but also probably credit to my parents for nipping the bud on that one.

Get a garden hose and spray them with water like cats.

This....Got to pull those pants up by the belt loops early on to get the message across that you run the house and certain things are not tolerated.

No way in hell I'd let that crap go on for more than a few minutes, much less 3 hours.

Slamming shite, throwing things------you don't have a mother/daughter thing going on, it's more like 2 adolescents.

Go to your LSU Man Cave (or equivalent shelter). Close the door. Pop a top (or two, or three). Prop up your legs. Put on some BB King (or Merle Haggard if you're country) and let him take you away from it all.

Oh, I almost forgot. Tell'em both to let you know when they're finished. On second thought don't do that, they'll both turn on ya.

Womens be funny like that. They be.

Good Luck!

I don’t have any advice - my older daughter (no pics) and I have never had a yelling fight

The younger daughter is still sweet and thinks everything I do is great.

The boys in between don’t fight with me … they have each other

But tell your wife that the kid is a teenager - she doesn’t know as much as she thinks she does. (That may go for mom too)

When teenagers start screaming and throwing things the worst thing you can do is respond with the same. You calmly tell them to go to their room and you will talk later when they have calmed down.

Crazy how this website is populated by nothing but perfect parents who have total and utter control over their families and households.

Alternatively, full of guys desperate for the chance to seem that way online lol

No one is saying that setting boundaries is easy or will work perfectly.

You do it because if you don't do it now you will have worse shite do deal with in the future. That's universal.
