Daughter has spoiled Christmas evening and I don't know where to go from here

She's 15 and is just beyond spoilt and nasty. I run around after her like mad and try and make Christmas a happy time for her and my other two.
She was sat in the living room playing a video really loud. I told her I wanted to sit and watch tv in peace and asked her to either put headphones in or go upstairs. She gave me a complete gobful saying I always spoil Christmas and called me a slag
I really don't know where to go from here I'm utterly appalled

Oh fgs. This is silly.

OP - how has dd been in the last few days?

Not happy as grounded. She did apologise but very half heartedly

Have you spoken to her about it since?

anothernamejeeves · 29/12/2019 22:07

Yes. She said I made her 'angry'
I've always suspected she has some asd traits with expressing emotions/feelings which also go hand in hand with her friendship issues so will be speaking a bit more in depth with school/early help when they go back. I've advised her I am seeking further support

Hopefully another chat or two and maybe some time out with her (take her for a coffee maybe?) will help too. I really hope she is able to apologise graciously and accept how unkind she was being.
