To all you moms of adults/older teens...
How in the world did you handle the roller coaster ride?????
One minute you are the greatest, and then the next..."you suck and are ruining my life!" :roll:
I am finding the ride a bit tiring lately. I am an emotional/sensitive person and I think my biggest trial with my teen right now is how do you not take the things they say personally? I am trying to make my dd realize that, the things she says DO matter and have a power to hurt people. She always claims..."I didn't mean it, I was just mad"... I tell her it's wrong, no matter how you are feeling. She gets disciplined, but she doesn't seem to care. We are on a one way street here because, she can do it, but the world ends if anyone says anything "mean" to her. Frankly she is just plain selfish, and I am not sure if our teachings are sinking in.
Help for the mom of a 15 year old "brat"!!!!
