I have 2 daughters, one is in her early 20s and the other is 14. My youngest talks to me like I'm something the cat has dragged in. When she comes in from school I ask her "did you have a nice day?" and she shouts "oh! shut up and stop going on!"
If she see's me having a laugh with anyone she says "stop showing off" and embarrases me.
If I mishear her she says "god! duh! get your hearing aid in!"
If I'm talking to her she puts her hand up in front of my face and says "don't talk to me, your breathe stinks".
Apart from this I get insulted, called big bum, dopey, docile etc.
I get on great with my eldest daughter now but when she was a teen she used to talk to me the same way. Other people have said they wouldn't tolerate it but I assumed they were all like this?
