Let's say that you have an emotional, insubordinate child this afternoon. What do you do when she struts her evil?
This is my 10 year old daughter, whom I really do love, but today, she refuses to pick up the mess she made making a toasted bagel and do her homework.
I'm outside typing this on my phone, because I'm so mad. I'm so mad I cannot even think a rational thought. Any suggestions? And they can be evil, only because she is being evil today too! :) Plus I have a sick sense of humor.

I dig it! I could hurl something at her, but it wouldn't really hurt her. . . unless she is possessed which is not too far out of the question at the moment!

First off > try to make peace. Try to calm down yourself and then try to give her a chance to calm down. Then give her an incentive plan.
Think of something that she likes to do > or likes to eat.
then use that as incentive
so Lets say she likes ice-cream. Tell her that if she cleans her room
and does her homework that you will take her out for an ice-cream later on!Like (2)

If she doesn't want to clean her mess make her stand and stair at it until she gets tired of looking at it ...trust me,after standing still quietly for 20 min she will be ready to clean it so she can leave the spot.

I love it, but she's so defiant and uses the word "no" like she invented it! Unless I cemented her into place, I'm not sure she would stay.

Be careful with the seeds from the bagel. If they are poppy seeds, whoever eats them could test positive for heroine or opium usage (so I have heard). Take away her cell phone, Iphone, ear phones, Blue Tooth, Blackberry, and blueberries, if she likes them with pancakes. (Without blueberries, she can't get a blue tooth.)

Oh, yes. I took away any and all fun, hell I even took away the air she breathes at one point in our argument. That's when I retreated. Thank you!

Stand your ground and follow through with what ever you told her. If you do not follow through she will remember it and not take you seriously.

I was just thinking about all that I've taken away this afternoon. How do you follow through when you take away the very air that they breath? just kidding. :)

We used to give them things just so we would have more things to take away. We would also make them sit in the kitchen or whatever room until their mess was clean. My kids thought I was mean, but appreciate me now :)

lol... let it fly ;-) Sometimes kids can be little devils... I do like that you are going to do something about it; some parents don't. It would have scared me if my parents had the internet to ask for suggestions... so that alone would freak me out ;-)

I'm really not a fastidious kind of person. Its those "everything" bagels, with all the seeds! and then she toasted it, and my table looks like it snowed bread crumbs. I'm really not asking her to do too much. I'm still getting over being mad, so making anything fun with her is still at least an hour away. But good ideas!

Hormones, hormones, hormones! I have three girls and when they turned 11 they changed from darling babies to the Alien Monster.Hissing and drooling acid and trying to kill me! I wanted to shoot them out into the void of space till they exploded!And then I felt guilty. I had 11 years of teen angst in total. What did I do ?Midol by case, lots of chocolate(to calm them down...look dear, chocolate, now put the knife down)Lots of talks about body parts and functions(yuuuuuuuuck) and I had to learn to shut up and listen. Listen about school friends and clothes, anime, heart throbs, boy friends, girlfriends,and the internet friends
The more you know about your kids world, the easier it is to be there when it falls apart. And when it gets really, really bad? Put there stuff outside on a partly sunny day and yell, looks like rain. Aliens hate wet stuff!
