10 year old backsass/disrespectful behavior

Our daughter is 10, and she is the most absolute joy to be around, when she has good days. 6 out of 7 days she is mean, rude, loud, disrespectful, constantly talking.
We are to the point we don’t know what to do. Grounding her does nothing, she will listen to nobody. If you tell her she can’t do something, you’re going to have a miserable day.
I am not trying to say anything against my daughter because she is a sweetheart. Yes, we have been going through a lot lately which I know has some part to play and also her dad, step-dad and I do too.
Any advice would be great! Please do not leave any rude comments!

Does she need more one on one time? She could be going through a stage. I’m thinking maybe seeking out a behavioral therapist?

My daughter is almost 10 and we battle this as well. It's not all the time but when it happens, it's rough! She's going through puberty and her hormones are all over the place so that definitely adds to it. No advice really just saying I'm right there with you momma! There are definitely times where I have to put her in her place and remind her who the real one is lol but I have definitely learned to pick my battles.

Knickers

Hi everyone,

I'm currently potty training my 2-year-old. When we go out, I put knickers on her with a pull-up over the top, just in case she has an accident. The problem is that all the knickers I've found are far too big.

Although she's 2, she's tiny for her age. She's mostly in 12–18 month clothes, with some 9–12 month tops and shorts still fitting.

Does anyone know where I can buy knickers in 9–12 months or 12–18 months? I'm really struggling to find any. She's been doing so well with potty training, and I don't want ill-fitting knickers to slow down all the progress she's been making.

Thank you! 😊

Spanking is abuse?

To the people that classify spanking your children as abuse - if your friend spanks their child as a form of discipline, are you calling child’s services to report them?

Is it wrong to hope that people around you (aka your village) should support you e.g. Offer to babysit once in a while etc

I was talking to a friend today to say we waited so long to have our first child because I wanted to be ready mentally to have a child as we didn't expect help. Bear in mind we have lots of family and friends around us so I said to her I'm a little disappointed that not one person has really reached out with an offer of babysit. Her response was you aren't entitled to expect other people to babysit. I wasn't expecting hence I have not asked anyone to babysit but just hoping someone would be nice enough to say why not have a break that's all!

Am I over exaggerating??

So my man commented on one of his female friends post of her son showing off his ball skills .. he said “does he have skills or is he just talented like his mom” …… and idk why yall but im taking that a way. Especially because I told him he didn’t compliment me all day and you figure if he’s going to compliment a women especially about their mothering skills he would compliment me……..idk yall I feel a way , am I overreacting?

I love being a boy mom 🥰🤭

So my 9 month old just gave me a hug and asked for a kiss * he said mama kiss 😭 aaaghhhhhhhhh 🤭I’m running around the house like a toddler 😂😂 even if he tires me out everyday and pulls my hair and scream for fun and want me to pick him for 6 hours a day , I mean even if he prefers to hang with dad and comes to me for food and comfort when he falls down and yeah he started walking so that means he’s using those little legs for their for. And likes to open the toilet and I have to wash it everyday and he likes to eat dirt when we play outside and I am basically he’s shadow because I’m trying to keep him alive 😭 I love being a boy mom
