Wow, what a read. I think I saw my own family in several ofv these posts. I have a daughter thats 23, and one thats 15. The one thats 23 always lived with her mom, and was never a problem. The one thats 15 however.. what a mouth on that chick.
I think the thing that bothers me most is that she totally disregards anything I say and re-directs any and everything to "mom".. In fact, she will say " I'm not talking to you am I ?? I was talking to mom". She will run my wife ragged. From about age 10 to present, she will stand upsatirs and yell "MOM" 30 or 40 times without bothering to come downstairs and find her. All she wants is to ask a question, but she wants my wife to jump to it and come to her. She is in control at all times in this house. She will not lift a finger to help with anything, yet demands everything. My son is similar ( sheltered by his momma.. she does everything for him.. just graduated high school and is headed to colledge and has zero idea of how to do anything for himself) I have tried over the years to straighten this train wreck out but then "I'm the BAD guy" or I am being " Negative"...
I guess the part that bothers me most is I remember how nice they used to be before they were teenagers
