What started your tween/teens tantrum today?

[Fleur]

That could have been us here any day ...
No tantrums today thank goodness - she did get just a bit huffy when I chipped her for being noisy & waking us. But that ('only' huffy) counts as good behaviour here

Well atm I have my 12 year old sister, 9 year old disabled brother and 5 year old sister living with me so Ill share
This morning Kacey (9year old) dared look at Tealah (12year old) which started the all day whinging sooking yelling fighting that I am so over. Apparently eye contact is enough to kill over.

Lisa I am glad to hear your DS is easier, I have been hoping my DS's will be easier than their big sister

Lisa, I so hear you on the disco thing. Its gotten to the point that i dread a school newsletter coming home with the word Disco on it. Miss A had one this year.. it was "Only $5, mum". Fine fine. We pay for the ticket. She comes home that day "Its a fluro disco mum. I dont have anything to wear" - she usually pulls this to raid my wardrobe. Well the only thing with any fluro in it is a black dress is pink trim I got to wear to the races, and she wore that for her formal so she couldnt possibly wear that again!!!!!

So D"sucker"H takes her shopping. Its now an $85 Disco!!! New clothes, make up, accessories, blah blah - see what I mean by sucker! So the night of the disco she is pulling her school bag apart in an absolute panic. Left her wallet at school it seems. In the science room she says. All locked up she says. Can't get in without her ticket - panic panic, drama drama. In steps the sucker again, drives hr to the school, sorts it out and off she goes to the disco. Picks her up later when its over, she gets home - "How was it?" I ask.

"Boring"

Today - we set her off by beating her score on the Wiifit. Oh aren't we just so horribly evil.

Right now DD who is 10 is having a hissy because it's too hot in her bedroom and has demanded we get an airconditioner installed down that end of the house to make her more comfortable.

The other day she asked me if I'd bought Taylor Swift tickets, I said no becuase they'd sold out. This caused her to literally drop to the floor like a 2 year old and have a HUGE kicking and screaming hissy fit because I'd PROMISED she could go!!! Little does she know that I have bought her tickets to see Taylor Swift which she will get on Christmas Day........I hope the tanty was worth it!

Dh's 14 year old niece had a big tanty today- refused to talk to any of us, except ds, all afternoon, because her mum said she couldn't keep wearing the magnifying glasses she'd pinched of her Pop. She had been wearing them all day because they looked cool and, big surprise, had a headache- but still cracked it when told to take them off

DD1 had a tanty last week cause I told her she couldn't go to the races on her 18th birthday becasue she had her last 2 HSC exams the next day. Apparently I was RUINING her 18th birthday! (sorry that I care about your future hun!) Then I dared ask her to take the bin out the day after her birthday!
Apart from that she has been great, turing 18 has been good for her LOL

[*TripleJ*]

lol tinks hope she kisses ur butt big time when she does get them my mum never did anything like that to me coz i would have been 100 times worse than that

i remember my sister this was weeks ago and shes 18 my mum asked her to feed the cat and she chucked a tanty it was so funny lol i do admit that i had a tanty the other day

[Lisa]

I am thankful I am not alone... thanks for sharing your stories! I have to admit, I had a bit of a laugh because my DD has done soooooooooo many of the things your DD's have done.

My 15 yr old DS is so cruisy compared to his sister.
