After another screaming battle over homework (in which time she could have actually done a lot of it) I have reached the end of my tether with dd1.
Over the past few months her behaviour at home has deteriorated to the point I just don't want to speak to her sometimes. She's rude, obnoxious, argumentative, loud, tells lies and is not much fun to be around.
She's had friendship issues at school but frankly if she speaks to children the way she speaks to us at home I am not at all surprised.
She won't to anything she's asked to. Her bedroom is a disgrace. She's even lost all her money as she decided to empty it out of her piggy bank, stuffed it into a sock and now cannot find it She mithers constantly for food. She strops and shouts if she's not getting her own way.
I just don't know what to do. She's very bright, does hobbies she enjoys and excels at but is being a complete horror at home.
