My Dd is year 7 at secondary school. She has potential to be a lovely girl & as far as I'm aware, is at school "a pleasure to have in class" etc etc. She is polite, courteous, if a little shy.
At home is Perry from Kevin & Perry. EVERYTHING is too much trouble. She moans, mutters under her breath, winds up her Dsis.
Mealtimes are particularly fractious.
After dinner today she moaned about her pudding -something she was given to make. Announced she's had enough & was about to flounce off when I asked her to fed our dog.
Cue too much huffing & puffing & loudness.
The dishwasher had not been emptied () & as no knifes in drawer, I passed her a fork which was greeted something like this "a forkAFORKIdontwantaforkgivemeaknife".
I said take then fork & cut dog food up with it". So more, ahem, gob from DD so I threw the fork at the floor & told her to stop moaning & get on with it. Which she managed perfectly well.
So I'm the lost-control-mother & she's stomped off thinking she's hard done by.
Every days she dominates meal times & the vibe of the house with her fucking behaviour. I'm sick of it.
