Im about to lose it

I have a 11yr old that lies so much idk what to do but I had recently put her in majorette because that's what she loved to do is dance well over thanksgiving holiday she stole some thing from her aunties house and then she embarrassed me so bad one night at her majorette practice calling me the b word etc so I called her dad he lives in a different state of course he didn't care so I took her out of majorette I feel bad but I'm the mom she has to respect someone and I wrong ?

You're describing my 12 yr old to the T

You’re not wrong. She shouldn’t talk to you like that or steal. I would say if she won’t talk to you then see if someone else can talk to her to see where these behaviors are stemming from. She might be going through something and acting out. I think not rewarding negative behaviors and being consistent with consequences, such as her calling you names and stealing, means no majorette was the right call.

@Jamie thank you because I feel like I'm not going to spend my hard earned money on no kid that disrespects me

I feel the same way about my 11 yr old son , his mouth and smart remarks is driving me insane 😖

Yeah my Son is 11 he tried it once and will never try it again the gentle parenting only goes but so far with me lol

@Juanita right I'm tired

I hear you. Have you considered therapy? This is literally the age that hormones start taking over. If both you and she can get some tools in your toolbox to stay regulated and the best ways to handle this ish, then we all might make it out of this still in contact with our kids. (My son is 11 and he's also started the stage, not quite as intense, but we're working on it)
