1, 2, 3.
MEGAN: My house right now is very chaotic.
Brock, stop.
I don't feel like they respect me a lot.
I feel like I kind of just get walked all over.
Give it to me.
Presley, give me the lid.
Presley's attitude is awful.
She's 12, so those teenage years are not very far away.
I don't want her to be out of control.
Get off the trampoline.
If we don't get respect from the kids now,
I don't see how they're going to respect us when they are older.
MEGAN: Stop. Stop.
Stop.
I can't go on much longer with the way it's going right now.
Presley!
Stop!
It's now or never.
I feel like we need this help, and we need it now.
[alarm sounding]
MEGAN: OK, hopefully we didn't miss any other ones.
Is all yours good, Presley?
PRESLEY: I don't know.
MEGAN: Is all yours--
PRESLEY: You're the one who did mine.
JO FROST: What was that?
PRESLEY: Hm?
JO FROST: What was that?
PRESLEY: What was what?
JO FROST: What was that?
Excuse me.
What was that shouting?
PRESLEY: Well--
JO FROST: Don't be like that.
That's a bit rude the way you're talking there.
Presley just spoke to her mom in a very disrespectful manner.
And Megan did nothing about it.
She can not allow her children to talk to her the way they do.
And I'm going to have to do something about it.
Everybody stay calm, please.
Let me grab a quick word with you outside.
MEGAN: Yeah.
JO FROST: I'm hearing Presley get snappy.
And I heard it today at the library.
And you ignored it.
What do you sense when you're around me?
MEGAN: You're not going to take nothing from nobody.
JO FROST: But that comes because I have it within.
MEGAN: Yeah.
JO FROST: Because I'm not being spoken to like that,
you know what I mean?
Yeah.
JO FROST: So you allow her to talk to you like that.
You need to stick up for yourself.
I want you to be able to say to her, look,
this is not happening anymore.
I am your mother.
You do as you're told.
It's as simple as that.
Because if you don't, then there's going
to be consequences for that.
You give her eye contact.
You tell her to look you.
Respect me, I'm talking to you.
I'm respecting you, you should respect me.
Look at me.
He hear this tone right now that I'm talking to you in.
That's the tone I want to hear.
And you need to use it with all your kids.
I'm not going to even be with you when
you have that conversation.
I'm going to be in the house.
But I want you to bring her out here and it stops here.
MEGAN: OK.
JO FROST: You got it.
All right, so you bring her back out
here and deal with this now. MEGAN: OK.
Presley, come here.
I want to talk to you for a second.
Come here.
PRESLEY: OK.
What?
MEGAN: So you know--
Yes, what do I know?
Look at me.
You know how you do the sassiness, and the talking
back, and the comments.
And a lot of the times, I just let it slide, right?
Because it's easier to ignore it than
yell at you in public or anything like that.
Look at me, because I'm looking at you.
I'm respecting you, you respect me.
I'm looking at your hands. You're moving your hands a lot.
Look at me.
OK, well, look at me.
It stops here.
You hear me?
Things are about to change, OK?
So I met you in the middle so you can meet me, too.
That's a lot to ask.
MEGAN: In order for me to trust you, you have to--
Presley, look at me.
I can't have you disrespect me anymore.
There's things that I've done wrong too that I'm
here to change as well.
And you need to too.
Do you understand?
Yep.
Do you?
Yes.
OK.
Finally, Megan is being more assertive.
This is about Megan being a parent, not a friend,
to Presley.
This is about her having that self love and respect
for herself, and demanding that her children
have that for her too.
MEGAN: I'm going to be a different mom now.
The same loving and kind mom, but whenever I say something,
I want them to respect me and to listen.
And I think I really got through to Presley
and kind of made her realize that I mean business.
