FINALLY, a thread where I can feel at home.
My girls are great, I love them more than life itself. But they drive me up the wall. Not too long ago someone posted a thread called "i'm sorry i was so smug" and it was all about how her child was wonderful as a toddler, no problems or tantrums and now that her child is a teenager, she is getting paid back for being 'smug".
My situation mirrors that exactly, times 2. My girls when they were toddlers never threw a tantrum, people always commented on how polite they were for their age. I was like "terrible twos, what's that?"
Fast forward to now. My DD's are 15 and 16 and they are making up for lost time. They are sooooo moody and ungrateful. It drives me up the wall. DD16 who has never had less than a B on a report card, got several C's this year.
She has no motivation as far as her future is concerned. She has some really great qualities and has actually stuck up for me when DD15 would be mean to me. But she lives for the moment, no planning.
So, my DD 15, is the moodiest person on the face of the planet. I will ask her a simple question and I get a short yes or no. Even just a question about how was school today. I honestly think she hates me. I am so tired of the eye rolling.
These girls are driving me crazy. It may not be a good summer. This is the first year I have not been working, so we will be spending a lot of time together this summer. I will try hard to make it a good one, but I don't know how much cooperation I will get.
ETA: It's 2 am and I guess I should have read the other posts. No one is complaining about their kids like I just did. I feel like a bad mother. I actually do know what the word average means, although you can't tell it from my post. Ok, maybe I can spin it like this: My kids are average teenagers! Does that work?
Hahaha
Don't feel bad! your kids ARE AVERAGE!!!! Mine aer the SAME WAY! Moody and grumpy.. ask how school was and i get treated like i just accused them of murdering someone!!!
