Not seeing eye to eye wiht teen daughter?

Aren't teenagers fun!?! She WILL understand and appreciate all you have done in about 10 yrs.....sorry, but right now all moms/adults are dumb as stumps and she thinks she knows everything! We have all lived through raising teenagers, even thought there were times that boarding school sounded really good! haha If things get out of hand, remember YOU are the parent and you do not have to take her being rude.....when you have had enough.....stand up to her and loudly say "That's enough!....either show me some respect or shut up"....works wonders with girls that age. Good luck sweetie...you have a few years to go till she moves out.

Alot of times when she says those things she probably doesn't really mean it. At the time she sure thinks she does but usually it goes away fast. Teens get like that, especially girls with their moms. You have two main options: When she says things that way pretend it didn't hurt you, as hurting you was probably the point in saying it. Or sit her down and talk to her and explain why it hurt you.

It just depends on your daughter which option is better for you two.

When she turns 20..or gets married.. talking from experience my mom and i fought so much when i was 15 now i am 21 with two children and i see my 14 year old sister doing the same things and i cant believe i did that. She will grow out of it and maybe have a daughter just like her.

part of what bothers you is somewhere inside you think she is correct. You have sacrificed but you doubt yourself when it comes to how you have done. Eventually they do see what you sacrificed, but I would also caution her about her words. Speaking in a hurtful tongue at anyone including you is only compromising her own character. I have to remind my daughter of this at times and although she doesn't always remember this she sometimes thinks she can do it better than me. So, I give her things to do and when she complains about how difficult things are I just remind her of her words and remind her that you better think before you speak.

UNfortunatly not until she is a little older. she is at an age where your the enemy, the best way to deal with it is to let her speak her mind and ignore what she has to say. later she will regret what she said and im sure the two of you will be friends but for now you have to be mom and to her pure evil. The more you ignore her statements the angrier she will get but its apart of a what seems to be a long process of her personal developent. and you might just feel a little better when shes throwning insults at your face but you happily ignoring them and she get more irritated. pick up something relaxing. your a good mom

Try sitting down and having a talk with her and ask her to give you times where you have shown that you are selfish. Also bring up all you have done for her like times you have bought her stuff that she wanted and times you got her stuff that she did not even really need

the majority of teens act like this towards their parents. they think that they are entitled to everything and they are very opinionated. i promise she will grow out of it. unfortunately u have a few more years of this. she should start to calm down when shes about 19 or 20. good luck to u!

I am 16. As far as i understand myself, i think you need to start telling things and stop listening to her garbage, that is if u really think what she tells in untrue and hurtful.

She'll probably see it once she's out in the real world and see's how hard it is. That's how I learned.

you need at ask her to give you an example..and sit down and calmly talk to her about it...as for when she see what you have sacrificed..maybe in a couple of years..maybe never
