I think that is awful that she ignores you. I never had that as there wasn't any such thing when my kids were growing up. What I would do is take the ipod from her until she can give you attention and listen to you. It isn't your fault, that she is doing it, as you never kenw she would take theos kind of meansures to ignore you. Kids nowadays, think they don't have to listen, as they have minds of their own. It sounds like she has a mind of her own, and she thinks she doesn't have to listen. I can unserstand why you feel it ruine your life though, but don't blame yourself for buying it for her. I would just ground her from using it until she can listen and not ignore you. Have a good day, and happy mylotting.

Put a password on the computer. If she ignores you take it away a 10 year old shouldn't treat you like that. I think Ipods are great they help me concentate when I do homework. But yes I would definetely consider doing something about her being disrespectful to you.

Set boundaries. I, for example, am not allowed to listen to my ipod when my mom is talking to me, or during dinner, etc. if i do, my mom will confiscate it from me, and i won't get it back for anywhere from two days, to a month, depending on how pissed off i make her. I know my mom's limits, and i'm not about to push them because i like my ipod to much. Try it with your daughter. If she doesn't get the boundaries at first, follow up with a punishment, and she'll catch on really fast, and it saves you the irritation of always being ignored.
If money is an issue to, with an iTunes account, you can remove the credit card from the user information, so she can't download you out of house and home.

Well you're the parent aren't you? Take away iPod privileges if she ignores you, and limit her time spent on the computer downloading songs. I'm not sure that a ten year old should have an iPod... I would say it would have been better to give it to her when she was 13 or so. But, maybe taking it away isn't the best response now. Maybe you can use it as a rewards/grounding system when she doesn't listen or pay attention to your instructions.

That's so sad. :( Electronics these days are truly taking over social interactions with humans. It's sad to see the youth of today knowing more about these gadgets then you and using them as a different social media rather than seeing each other as we did back in the day. I think you need to confiscate this ipod of your child and lock your computer. This will definitely knock some sense into your child.
