I one read in a magazine article that every teenager needs a "bad guy" in their life, and apparently, I'm currently dd's. Last night, she came home with a friend. When dd walked in the door she had the most sour, ticked off expression on her face. No greeting, just glaring at me. I asked her what was wrong (I know, big mistake), and she grunted in reply, "Nothing." The funny thing was, her friend who came in with her looked sort of apologetically at me. And as she trailed after dd, the friend stopped and greeted me, while dd had nothing to say to me. Then, I asked dd if she wanted me to make her dinner. Another negative grunt. But get this, a few minutes later, dh tells dd that he brought home a pen for her. Not a fancy pen, not a funny or unusual pen, just a red pen that she needed. She was SO appreciative, so very grateful that dh brought home a pen. A pen. And I'm willing to make her supper. Not to mention I'd just washed her linens, given her plenty of cash to go shopping with (and buy lunch), have (for the past week) been making sure there was lunch in the house for her (during finals there's only 1/2 days of school), shlepping her around the mall on my own time, and who knows what else. Dh brought home a pen. And he's a hero. To be fair, she's been exceptionally pleasant to me this morning (or as I like to think of it, back to her old self). That's her pattern. She gets into a mood, but afterwards she knows she was wrong. It's just exhausting. I'm going to go let off some steam by washing my floors. |

HUGS! Teens are so hard! Girls are always testing their moms. I know I did with mine. I had an attitude at times. I was good for the most part, never did anything my parents wouldn't be proud of.. (I'd never embarrass them) but there was an attitude. I wonder what would happen if you don't offer to make her dinner! |

The mother/daughter dynamic is also hard... and hormones on either side don't help. Hugs, Craving !!!!!!!!!!! (If you want, you can come to Phillly with me . . . it might be by bus, though . . . . ) |

Hugs! I think she'll grow out of it. I had a period of terrible relationship with my mom whereas my dad could do no wrong. Kidna like what you describe. It passed though, and now we're mostly on good terms! Hang in there! |

oh, right. :) When this dd was little, I also used to think that she would make crazy when she hit her teens. Turns out I was right. |
