Ok one more parenting folk wisdom thing I really buy into- don’t judge your parenting by how your kid treats you, judge it by how they are with people outside the family. Unfortunately part of the parental role is being the adult it is safe to be a jerk to.

I agree. There’s a definite difference between a toddler venting and a middle schooler being nonstop disrespectful and abusive with no checks.
