Hello everyone
As the title suggests my almost 12 year old daughter is exhausted me to the max, she is so rude the way she talks, answering back, attitude, not listening, horrible to her siblings and horrible to me and damn right lazy. It's been years it probably started when she was 8 or 9. I've tried reasoning with, explaining how she makes others feel, being strict, being mean, ignoring her, taking away her things but nothing works. I'm at my wits end with her. My whole energy goes in her and she is the eldest of 4, i have no attention and energy left for the others, this cannot go on. As horrible as it sounds I cannot bear to be in the same room as her at the moment. It's a struggle.
Any help or suggestions? What shall I do? What shall I try ? I'm willing to try anything at the moment.
She's a great person at school and her teachers all have only ever praised her.
Thanks
