Lulu - i am dredding this time to come with my dd she will be 13 this year and i can already see little things erupting in her. You are doing an amazing job and you are remaining strong and not backing down which is half the battle and problem with some familys these days (imo). i hope 18 comes fast for you and the muturity that hopefully comes along with age.
Marlene - big to you also. I left home when i was 16 as i didnt want to live under my parents rules. My mum said to me if you want to leave go, i will not help you but when you want to come home under our roof with our rules i will help you move home. I think i was gone about 2 - 3 months and i returned. I totally regret the way i treated my mother and now we have the best relationship, infact we live only 10 houses from each other. I just wanted to let you know that hopefully one day (fingers crossed its sooner rather than later) she will realise how much her family means to her.
Lulu, well done hun, well done. I must say that Joshua does pull the sweet and loving thing when he wants something too....hasn't been too bad lately...better stay that way too.
As for the whole payment issue....OMG I seriously think that so many of these govt. rules etc only encourage and enable kids to act out and become the way that a lot of them are....THEN it's the pollies and govt. who go on about how bad the young of today are and how rude etc.....ummmm HELLO WAKE UP YOU ARE ENABLING THEM D***HEADS!
Lol@living on 2 min noodles. Teenage girls can be difficult. You are doing a good job, Lulu. You are so strong. I don't think I could deal with such behaviour but than again she is your daughter. Although I never moved away my mother, I do remember demanding YA. Lol. I know - stupid! I did it out of spite. Of course I never went ahead with it and went to CL. But my mother gave it to me when I turned 18. The catch was to buy my own text books for university, help out with the family grocery, or give my younger siblings bus fare. Lulu, hopefully she will come around. By the sounds of it, you give her so much freedom, maybe you should consider cutting back on that time because of her bad behaviour?
