Why do they call it "smart mouth" when it makes them sound so dumb?

I'm convinced that teenagers were actually created by Lucifer himself as punishment for all of mankind's sins. They were AWFUL this weekend...like worse than ever before. SS13's mouth is so far beyond out of control, I'm literally finding that I have to physically remove myself from his presence so I don't go straight down to the court house and divorce DH behind these kids. SS11 is starting to take a turn down the same path. I seriously was ready to put them out on the highway this weekend but for the fact that the whole Jessica Ridgeway murder happened only a few miles from where they live, so everyone is still nervous about the child abductors. The best part is that they just don't stop pushing until every adult in the room is at breaking point, and then they start crying and wishing they were dead when everyone starts yelling at them. Then, when I point out that they brought it on themselves and all they have to do is what they're told, it inevitably results in even more hysterics. I'm sure my in-laws' new neighbors are like are collectively shitting themselves because SS13 threw such an epic tantrum in the street outside their new house, the neighbors are probably thinking it's going to be happening all the time (which it will every time they're over since SS13 wants to regress back to being 2 years old, throwing tantrums every time he doesn't get his way). God, I've never liked them before, but they crossed the threshold this weekend and now I think I might officially hate them. Sucks, but there it is.

Easy solution. A cup of ice cold water in their face. Works every time. My sister had an absolute meltdown once and my father calmly walked over to the sink while she ranted and raved. Filled a glass with cold water, walked back and tosed it in her face. The stream of water should hit about eye height so as not to cause any attempts of "she tried to drown me!"

As far as your neighbours are concerned, just tell them you are sorry they had to witness SS11s behaviour but his mother took drugs when she was pregnant and you are trying your best but you can only do so much. It works better if the kid is in the vicinity and can hear you. When he objects and calls you a liar you turn on him and say "Well, that is the ONLY explanation for your behaviour. Mentally challenged kids behave better than you!"
