Teenagers.....
I have a problem. A situation.
Let me describe "it" for you, If I may:
Its about 5' 7"
Blonde
Blue Eyed
in 9th grade
Hormonal (that's another story)
Has a "boyfriend"
and is in this:
Yep...Driver's Ed!
Oh yeah, she is about to
turn 15!
Now, this is enough to be the problem.. but believe it or not, THIS is not it. The problem is this:
Her father & her do not get along (its a mutal respect thing)
Her sister and her almost never get along
She argues with me constantly
She is failing EVERY class EXCEPT said picture above, because THAT is a cool class
She unfortunately has my off-balance hormonal issues and is completely outta her mind and uncontrollable with her emotions UNLESS she is with her "friends"
She HATES being at home
She HATES to do any kind "chore", but expects endless amounts of money and favors in return
She says mean and hateful things to her sister, and her dad (out of the blue)
But to her, this is all our fault.
She has dropped from a size 5 to a size 3/4 to a size 1/0 since Sept...
She has a terrible self image issue
She eats horribly
She looks at herself in the mirror constantly
She OCD and probably ADD
I dont deny or discard that we are dysfunctional as well... we are. WE are just as normal as the next American family (sarcastic of course)..... but she refuses to see any of the issues that she is having...
I have now made her a DR. APPT..and she FREAKED OUT!!!!!! I dont know what to do.... Im forever the bad parent. All of her friends and friend's parents only get to see the GOOD Halie.... and I always get this side of her.. I want my baby back. I want to see the Halie that everyone else gets too see.... its not fair.
People tell that this will pass....I tell ya, Im thinking I need to find an ugly witch to put a spell on her that will make her sleep for the next 4 years. Then her handsome prince will come and save her.
Would that be so bad?

awww.. don't worry, she's probably just on drugs.
:-P
Unfortunately I've been told that moms never get to see the sweet child others do... just be comforted knowing that *you* have at least gotten that far.. she's a good person, good to others.. It would be worse if she was just a total shit all around!!
Love ya, mean it!
None of us get to see our kids as they present themselves to others! It's a very good thing they know how to behave in front of real people, because real people would pummel them senseless if they acted the way they do at home.
Hang in there. Rose was a horrible freak for a time, and she seems to have come out of it reasonably unharmed.
Oh, and I think we parents are the ones who need to take drugs!
My snarling pitbull of a daughter loves all except me, and she probably is on drugs. My disfunctional solution is to remove myself from the home occassionally. I have a little camper van that helps. Doesnt alter her but shes nice when Im gone and I get a break. Her, dad and brother have my mobile no. for real urgencies
NOT Drugs
baby I am so sorry. Good luck!
Thanks for all the input everyone... you have no idea how helpful it is to know that there is dysfunction ... everywhere!!
