I know this is for teenagers but I need some advice. I'm desperate. My Dd2 is 11. Dd1 is 13 and a great girl. Laughs and jokes, joy to be around. So why isn't Dd2 like that? She causes arguments everyday. Whether that's between the house or even Dd1 and her friends at school. She lies about everything but is so convincing you question yourself. You can't have a conversation in front of her as she instantly repeats to who ever she sees. Her school called me because Dd2 made out I don't feed her so had no lunch money so teachers were handing money over to her, until the decided to call me and I informed them she has money. She got in trouble. She then told the dinner lady that some bigger kids stole her drink, the dinner lady felt sorry for her and gave her one, then heard Dd1 & Dd2 arguing that Dd2 made it up so dinner lady snatched it off Dd2 which made her cry. Dd2 has been stealing money from people at school. Stealing sweets from teachers and other kids. Doesn't have any friends as she is socially underage, like raising a 7 year old. She wants to play with our next door neighbour who is 6. But even then Dd2 is to bossy for 6 yr old. So recent thing, Dd2 in trouble for lying again at school. So teacher collared her which turned into Dd2 accusing DP of assault & dragging Dd2 across the bedroom by her hair. Ss now involved but I'm feeling done. Can't explain other things she's done. To much to list. I cry sometimes and she loves it. She enjoys me crying. Ss want to send me to a parenting class. I went mad! I parent other kids fine. Why should I?! I'm NOT THE PROBLEM.
Sick of being made out to be bad parent, that I need structure and guidance. NO! Thinking of giving Dd2 to MIL for a while. I need a break. I've cried now for 5 days constant. My head hurts, my body hurts and my heart hurts.
My house would be lovely without Dd2 there. Peaceful. No tension. No feeling of dread. I hate weekends. Dread having Dd2 for 48 hours straight. I'm so finished with it all. I keep crying as I know I sound like a bad mum. I swear I'm not. I've tried and tried everyday. Fighting for Dd2 but she doesn't seem to acknowledge what I do.
