Whoa is me, sad am I...

[Nancyg56]

Hello everyone. I was being nosey and looking at my mom's recent posts and I couldn't resist posting back on this thread...

Well, I'm going to assume that you mean Megan (that's my sister), because I sure do love you bunches. I know we definately have had some rocky times, but I'll love you forever. Megan's just a little spoiled brat and you shouldn't let her get to you. I don't really think she likes anyone all that much. But like the rest of these very nice people have pointed out, teenage years are usually the worst. You want your independence sooooo bad and it's dangling right there in front of you. The only thing that truly seems to be in your way is your parents. Trust me, I know how Megan is feeling and now that I'm (for the most part) over that stage, I can see how hard it is for you. There's not really much you can do. She just doesn't want to have to listen to anyone else right now. I love you. Don't let her get you down.

You said that so well, Lindsay. I remember my DD's teenage years, and both of my nieces, and I think they were feeling what they were feeling. You must be a joy to your Mom, and I know that you just made her feel so much better. It is so hard to be a Mom when the people who you love the most, and for whom you would rip your heart out for seem to dislike you so much. I really think that the love goes both ways, as your moving post to your Mom points out. to both you and to your Mom.

I am so sorry to hear this - many, many hugs to you!!!

My mom and I didn't get along much when I was a teenager, and then when I got married we became very close. We now know to agree to disagree.

Hang in there, don't give up, and you will get close again.

God Bless!!!

Hang in there! My oldest thought I had no good points and if I had any she was hard pressed to figure out what they were. She decided to go live with my sister where she was able to get alot of things she could not get at home. After one year, this high schooler, got a part time job, bought her own bus ticket and came home. Life with all those things she thought she wanted was not that great. Every thing has a price and moving 365 miles away made her appreciate home a lot more!

Raising teenage dd is tough! Whew, I thought my dd and I wouldn't make it out of those years alive at times, lol. I've always loved my dd very much but I sure didn't like her sometimes and I can assure you the feeling was mutal on her part. Thankfully we've grown closer and I'm sure we'll be close the rest of our lives. At least that is what I desire very, very much.

I am so sorry. I don't know what I would do if one of DDs said they didn't like me. I guess I am very fortunate cause I have a great relationship with both of them. I hope things change for you.

You know, the fact that one of your daughters actually took the time to publivly let you know that she loves you very much should tell you something!! You are obviously a good parent, and I swear once you get past the teenage years it get soooo much easier. I can't believe how much of a PITA I was to my Mom all those (10) years ago, and how well we get along now. I hope you feel better soon.

When my dd gets pissy with me and nothing I do seems to make her happy, I just remind myself that I was put on this earth to be her mother - not her friend. We can be friends later! I agree with what a previous poster said - hug your dd often and tell her you love her. You may be surprised with the result!

So in everyones opinion or is there even any rhyme or reason, are girls worse than boys? We're about heading there and I am one of 3 girls that has no idea what to expect from hormonal boys. They seem pretty mellow and happy but maybe the magic # hasnt hit yet? I know what my sisters and I did to my Mom mostly, never Dad too scared.

So boys or girls or both the same?

 

[Planogirl]

I think that girls are worse during the teenage years when it comes to getting along with them and worrying about them. However, boys tend to grow away from you when they get older while girls grow closer. At least that's what I've seen.

It was Lindsey whom I met some years back with you, correct?

That's correct, my partner in crime when it comes to WDW, neither of us can ever get enough.

You said it so well, Nancy. That is it exactly.

...I know that you just made her feel so much better.

That she did.
