This morning I let her have it with both barrels!! Gawd I was so mad at her I just had enough and that attitude of hers is getting out of control.
She is 14 and knows it all, thinks of no one but herself, can't be bothered unless it's something she wants, won't do any kind of chores unless you stand over her and make her do them and the whole time hollering about having to do them!!

She is disrespectful, tells me to shut up, hush or be quiet. THAT is what gets me pissed!!!!

Her life consists of texting, facebook and tv. I know she is a teen but gee whiz!!

I am grounding her from the texting and she will be even worse tonight when I get home after she finds out , but I gotta stick to it.

thanks for letting me vent.

Oooooh I,ve all this to come mine,s four and she already has "attitude"

Hope this evening doesn,t go too bad

Sorry you're having to deal with your teen-age daughter's attitude. I honestly believe that the age of 14-16 is the hardest age we all go through in life. Of course, we don't realize it at the time. But ask us when we're middle-aged, and most of us will agree!

I'm glad there was no internet, or cell phones, or texting when mine were teenagers. Back then it was just starting to become popular, and very expensive. Our household couldn't afford any of that. We didn't even have cable till the middle 80's!

One thing I will add is about your daughter telling you to "Shut Up." In our house, something like that would not have been tolerated. My kids respected me and their Dad. They still do. I just couldn't even imagine hearing one of my kids talk that way to us!

Good luck to you and I hope the rest of your day gets much better.

I'm sorry but I would take ALL privledges away until her behavior improves.

I'm glad there was no internet, or cell phones, or texting when mine were teenagers.

Hi, I agree with Texas - internet, cell phones, texting and social networking sites are the things which cause the most upset in our house. It was easier when there wasn't so many easily accessible outside influences.

We have boys and it's the above influences which are the hardest to deal with, but my sister has 2 girls and between the ages of 13-16 they were very, very difficult - would disappear for hours and not let anyone know where they were. Massive atttude. No respect, and many other things which would make us all shudder. etc etc.

It's hard being a teenager and growing up, but they do need to learn to respect etc.

Good luck and stick to whatever you decide.

Hugs

Not only would I take her privelages,I would make her earn them back with chores and good attitude.GOD-bless

It's all POETIC JUSTICE. When WE went through puberty, we ranted, yelled, raged and behaved like crazy maniacs at OUR parents for no apparent reason, yet we all know NOW it was the hormones talking. Now as WE enter menopause, we can return the favor by yelling, ranting and screaming and going generally maniac crazy at OUR own kids! What comes around goes around, so remember that when dealing with your mouthy teenagers. NAAAAAAAAA!

But I'm beginning to think that perimenopause makes us even nuttier than ever because I've NEVER felt this PSYCHO in my life, even as a teenager! Maybe I have a selective memory, but all I know is that I'm driving my hubby NUTS! It must be all that androgen dominance in our bodies now. I'm even getting acne that I never had as a teenager either!

By the way, happy, smiley, jovial, gregarious people now PISS ME OFF too (when my hormones are juuuuuust right and I have a headache) especially when they come up to me a wish me a happy day! Happy, happy, joy joy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&*%#*! And I used to be such a nice person.
