My mum is currently visiting from abroad, we last saw her in August and won't see her again till April. She arrived yesterday.
Dd (13) started complaining this morning that she didn't want to come out with us, why couldn't she be left alone on the first day of the holidays.
I said because of her grandmother, but she was adamant. I left her to it while we were having breakfast but then went up to see her. She was now saying she was feeling ill. We decided to go out without her. I phoned her once and she gave a very convincing impression of feeling ill, said her head hurt so much she couldn't move etc
Came home she seemed ok. Tonight she refused again to come downstairs said she was too unwell but when I went to see her she looked totally fine.
I am convinced she made it up and feel I have "proof" in that she spent the whole time we were out on Netflix (I checked)
If we didn't have my mum here I woulf happily have left her to it but this I feel is just rude and inconsiderate and manipulative.
Wwyd? I am fuming, and am also sad - I just don't know what makes dd tick anymore.
