My 12 year old daughter is becoming very bossy and pushy with my 9 years old daughter when I'm not around, then she will lie and say she didn't do it at all. If she don't get what she wants she will degrade my 9 years old by calling her stupid, retard or other mean names. I have heard her say it a few times. She drives me crazy some time because she acts just like my husband.
Is this normal? Can I fix it?
