15 yrs old and knows it allReply to this Comment
I have a 15 yr old daughter that thinks she knows it all. I never can do anything right according to her. In her words I am the mom from hell. She is always right and I am always wrong. She does what she wants when she wants and cares less if I say it is ok or not. She screams at me she hits me and I feel like I have let her down somehow. Help I am lost I have no idea what to do to be able to get threw to her how can I make her understand that some of the things she does like steal from me, stay out and me not knowing where she is is not ok. She dont do nothing around the house she eats sleeps and makes a mess.

I think we have the same daughter! I don't have an answer for you, all I can say is you aren't alone. I struggle with it everyday, all I do is that in the middle of everything I stop and say, hey, just so you know, I love you, and it doesn't matter how angry you get. It doesn't fix anything but at least she can't turn around say you never loved her which to me is the most important. There are too many parents out there that DON'T love their kids enough to TRY

My 15 year old thinks its okay to yell and cuss at me when things don't go her way. No matter how hard I try to do the right thing, I always do something wrong. But when she wants something, everything is perfect!

Sounds like we have the same problems. Let me know how it goes.
15 year old daughterReply to this Comment
Why do we all have the same issues? I bet none of us were the same at that age- perhaps difficult in our own way.The problem is that we are all so aware of all the things that can go seriously wrong- with drugs,sex etc- that perhaps we didnt do,or have such easy opportunityto do when we were that age?
I wish there was an answer- I'm focusing on the time my daughter is 16- perhas when she realises I do not have to tolerate her poor behaviour at home she will miraculously improve- that or I'm afraid she may be moving out - with a helpful shove!! (to sink or swim!!)

Why do our children, who have had a good life become completely different when they reach their teens. My grand-daughter is being just horrendous at the moment and no matter what we do it is not good enough for her. I feel for any parent who is going through teenage years, when do they end?

As I read your story it is like you sat down with me to write my story. But we are also dealing with some drugs, smashed cars, fighting. Threats from buddies. I live in fear in my own home, not sure of what crap he will bring home next. What are you doing now? I need help!

18 year old HATES ME Reply to this Comment
I have an 18 year old daughter that just hates me and tells me all the time. He father and I are not together and I moved to Kentucky when she was 3 and came back when she was 10. I tried to see her and I sent letters and gifts but most of the time I was gone I didnt talk to her. When I came back it was very hard becuase she didnt want to see me (he dad told her that I never loved her and so on) She moved in with me about 3 years ago and she has been the most hateful, disrespectful, angry person. When she moved in with me she was dating a boy and he was over the house all the time and she pretty much walks all over me and I of course allow this. I am so over the I hate You, you were never there its your job to take care of me you dont know how to be a mom and so on, that I really dont know what to do. I have tried everything to make things better but she tells me that I have not. I know that counseling is a good first step, but I need to know what else there is for me to do as to try and make things better. I also have the issue about her dad that constantly tells her and me that I suck at being a Mom and that I dont care about her at all. Please anyone have any advise to help me in this tangled web that I am in.
