She is trying to be a rebel, and I seriously wouldn't know how to handle it.<br /><br />Take Care....you are correct.St Elsewherehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08074672268757885766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181051446376235840.post-78467036555805420742011-10-26T06:21:34.329-07:002011-10-26T06:21:34.329-07:00Well we've already discussed everything you wr...Well we've already discussed everything you wrote here, but I'll just reinforce the fact that you are a GREAT mom! You are handling things in the best way you know how. <br /><br />I think that you and Dirty need to be SURE to NOT cave, even on the smallest issues. Like I've said, she's testing you guys and when you cave she sees that as winning. "I get to do whatever I want and even if they do punish me, they'll loosen up and I can do whatever I want again".<br /><br />Parenting is hard. We all have our issues. However having issues does not mean you are not a good mom! <br /><br />I love you tons!!!!

I...*hug* This has got to be so tough on all of you. I don't think there's any right answers here. You're still a great Mum, but you've got a teenage daughter. I don't know what Nae needs, or if she's even in the head space to talk about it with you, but when I was that kid I needed parents who continued to enforce reasonable boundaries to keep me safe who also talked about why they chose to fight the fights they did so I understood it came from a place of love - not control (which is honestly what it felt like). If we ever have kids I'm really hoping they magically turn 25 on their 12th birthday. ;)SassyCupcakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06093736219562358428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8181051446376235840.post-20918417177569787242011-10-25T06:00:57.641-07:002011-10-25T06:00:57.641-07:00It's great to hear from you, but I'm so so...It's great to hear from you, but I'm so sorry that things are so hard right now. I shudder at the idea of having a teenager. I'll be lucky to survive 9!!<br /><br />hang in there!Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00918826364837237450noreply@blogger.com
