For her part, the Bravo star laughed off her daughters rudeness and kept on filming.
'Hi Gia, I love you,' she said in the next video.

'The day I became your mom was the day I found purpose in my life,' Teresa wrote in a lengthy caption. 'Gia, you are such a sweet, gentle loving smart person and I'm so fortunate to be chosen as your mother.
'Thank you for being such an amazing big sister, cousin, niece, friend & all the other roles you play, I don't know what I'd do without you. You'll never understand how much I love you & how grateful I am.
'I'm so proud & excited to see where your future takes you! Happy Birthday my gorgeous girl!! 18 - I can't believe it!!!'

She tagged her post: '#birthdaygirl #18 #happybirthday #luckymom @_giagiudice.'
While Gia has always been close to her mother, she has proved the Real Housewives Of New Jersey star's biggest support during the last few trying years.
As the oldest child, it has fallen to Gia to help her parents hold their family together as first Teresa, and now patriarch Joe, were jailed for fraud.
She has also supported Teresa as she has grappled with the ruling that Joe must be deported to his native Italy after he serves his 41-month sentence
