I wouldn't be sitting their dinner table The answer to a bratty teenager (and they ALL adopt that "I'm just a slave in this house" attitude at some point) is not to take up a defensive position. You are the parent. Your starting position is that you are automatically right - if you decide to put yourselfso publically in the wrong by doing this kind of thing it's your own fault. It doesn't matter how much he embarrasses his daughter with his response, he's the one who looks stupidest because she's just behaving like a teenager but he isn't behaving like an adult.
