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?
Just wanted to pop in & give you massive hugs hun xxxx
I'm only just learning about parenting a teenager (its been a whole 3 months now )... and he isn't even being difficult
Lu - I think you're just an admirable parent, I can only imagine how frustrating this must be for you - good on you for staying strong sweetie xxxxxxxxxxxx
