DD is only 13 but already I can feel that her teenage years are going to be a war zone. DH has always been quite strict and now DD is entering the delights of hormones and general teenage angst he is increasingly not able to choose his battles.
He seems to pick at her constantly and she has started retaliating. She gets upset, he raises his voice and then says he is not shouting, she stomps off tearful 🙄
I feel like a mediator between the two. After the event, he seems to take it onboard that her behaviour is perfectly natural for a young girl her age with raging hormones, but at the time he doesn't seem to be able to just let it go. I don't let her get away with disrespectful behaviour but half the time I don't think she is doing anything particularly wrong 😳
Does anyone have any advice - I wondered about maybe a book explaining teenager behaviour 🤔
