**Dear Wendyl,
**My 18-year-old daughter and I used to have a really good relationship. But lately, every time we go out she seems to enjoy criticising how I look. I have no idea what started it, but she’ll say, “Look at Mum’s jeans, her arse looks huge in them.” I don’t know what to do, can you help?

**Dear Embarrassed Mum,
**Would you have taken this behaviour when she was a child? Of course not! Forget that she’s 18 and tell her off. Make sure there is a consequence for her actions. Children are supposed to behave better as they get older, not worse. The sooner you nip this one in the bud, the better.
