I had my DD young I'm now 36 and shes 16 next month.
Her real dad basically didn't care and wanted nothing to do with us so I brung her up on my own with help from my mum dad and brother and freinds.
So growing up her father figures were he grandad and uncle. 4 years ago we lost my dad and after a hard time things started to change and I'm a strong believer my dad was looking down on us and made these changes happen.
My mum and me took DD away to disney in Paris then the week we are due to leave I get told I've been offered a flat eventually so after coming back from our hols it was all go with getting things organized to move then after the move a few.months later i met a guy and still with the same guy and we are now getting married next year
My partner adores my DD and see her as his own.
She is a good girl but I'm not sure if it's a teenage thing but it's like she never listens and doesnt like get told off or moaned at
Not sure if its cause for years it was me.doing the telling off and now the roles have changed and that she might forget that she now has a father figure
The mini arguments are usually her not wearing a proper school uniform (she does in a way just doesnt like trousers prefers leggings ) which annoys my partner at times so she wont listen then it escalates
How do you get teens to actually listen and accept a telling off and that we are here to help etc and is this normal for a teen I sometimes feel like I'm in the middle and it's most likely her hormones etc
After all I've got us a home eventually shes now got a new family (partners side) plus we are looking into moving to a actuall house and looking to have a child after the wedding (my DD has always wanted to be a sister)
