If your kids really mouthed off at you, what would you do?
It depends on the situation. Generally with my kids, it’s best to ignore it completely because they are just trying to get that flaming reaction from me. If I ignore them, I’ve taken away their fun.
My boys are grown but they know that IF they do mouth off they will not hear the end of it..
they would not hear the end of it and if they were older and in my home they would have to leave until they could respect me, it children I would punsih them based upon their age, but it would nev er be okay with me
Oh if my daughter pulled that stunt, I would put her in check (usually with a dirty look 
).
I would remind them who is the mother, who bore the pain and let them know that to be blessed, they must show honour.
If my daughter did mouth off at me, she will get a lecture from me about all I did for her and I deserve respect.
Boy # 2 did that as we were walking around Academy (sporting good store) I told him to stop or I’d smack him across the face...he had the nerve to challenge me...so I did. We both started laughing as we had an audience and he didn’t see it coming. I didn’t damage the boy but he knows I’m not going to be afraid of (“you can’t do anything to me, I’ll call 911 on you).
I’d give him/her one cross the lips and if they even dare to call 911, I’ll remind them how life in a group home is no picnic. If they‘re of age, I’d say, “want to know what it feels like to be homeless? Do as I say under my roof or get out.”
I think that’s the problem with a lot of these kids, they know they can get away with things because their parents can’t touch them. I’d give them 5 fingers of love and read them the house rules.
Act shocked as if they just committed the worst cardinal sin possible, then discipline them. But like someone else said, it does depend on the situation. An overwhelmed, overstressed child mouthing off would require a different type of response than that of a child acting spoiled.
