Orrible Day ahead. I bet mine is going to be worse than yours.

[DameHermione]

To start with I have been, against all my best instincts, said I will take DD2 to the cinema.

She wants to see Titanic 3

D2 is 14, She is a teenager she is prety vile at the best of times.

Add into the mix of swirling vilness and teenager hormones and attitude she also has aspergers. It is an orrible mixture, it truly is.

DD2 doesn't actually like the cinema. it is too loud, and there are generally other people there (although maybe not watching Titanic 3D). Going to the cinema leaves her all twitchy and overloaded. 3D will push this even further.

She has also woken up in an absolutely foul mood - whether this is down to teenagerness, hormones, aspergers or just DD2 being ner normal vile self I don't know, but I know that for at least today i am going to be edging around her, minding how I breathe and diffusing rows with DD1, DH and the dog. And of course it will be all my fault as usual.

And did I mention Titanic 3D?

I mean Titanic fucking 3D!!! Why? why? why? what have I done to deserve that?

I frequently call my teenagers 'vile children'. It makes them snort with laughter.

bless her cotton socks she decided she wasn't up to going to the cinema phew.

she 9unsurprisingly0 can't find a friend who wants to go with her. and we live in hicksvill so she needs some sucker parent to drive her there and back 9which is why i'd have to go with her0

i spect she'll make me go on friday 9my next day off0

my shift key appears to be broke., damn.

but fucking hell the bickering. argh. argh argh argh.
they are both being vile.

oh and ^obviously6 this is somewhat tongue in cheek really a bit ish and 6obviously6 there are others having really really bad days. i know that.

fucing shift key. i'll never be able to italic again

I don't have a teenager yet but if yours has woken up in a foul mood and is taking it out on you, why are you taking her on a treat? Especially one that will make her behave worse and that you will hate doing?

Just wanted to add something.

Your post made me remember something. When titanic was out the first time I was a vile 14/ 15 year old who was in day hospital for anorexia. My mum took me and thinking back it must of been horrible for her. I sipped a coffee staring at her eating pop corn and was miserable.

Looking back though it was one of my happier memories and I'm thankful for it.

TheProv- if ops dd is anything like my Aspergic dd then she is probably in a foul mood most days (thats just the joy of Aspergers), after a while you get used to it and take it with a pinch of salt. Punishing a child with AS is very tricky.

Buggy- thanks for sharing, sometimes its the small things that we remember the most.

she goes from foul to lovely to vile to nice to foul to sweet to vile to pleasant all within 5 minutes and repeat about 74 times a day.

Fair enough, I don't have a lot of knowledge about aspergers so I didn't know that. Thanks for enlightening me.

If you go on Friday, you do realise it's Friday 13th???

Just saying...

MIL's maiden name was Vile

There aren't many teenagers who aren't vile at some point.
I seem to remember that I was too(about 100 years ago). My DC certainly were.

But I'm proud to say that I've never watched any version of Titanic and have no intention of ever doing so.

#You're heeeeeeere,
There's nothing I feeeeeear...#

Enjoy, OP!

DD ( a soon to be teenager) mentioned wanting to see Titanic 3D today.

I got as far as looking to see where it was on locally and saw that it was 3 hours long ( 3 hours?!?!) and persuaded her we should do something else instead.

Hell, I can't sit in one (uncomfortable) place for that long.

DD2, who is 15 and mostly not vile, went last weekend with some friends, most of whom cried. She reckoned you forgot it was in 3d. She had also visited the Titanic Building in Belfast 10 days ago (brilliant architecture, exhibition was just opening so we weren't inside). There is another one in Cobh, in Cork Harbour, which she now wants to visit.

Our dd is 14, and although not aspie, probably has pda. She doesn't do empathy, has to be in control doesn't realise she is a child and not an adult etc etc. Saturday she sent me a text to the effect that she wished she had parents who would fuck off and leave her alone.

And breathe. At least she was only off Monday, and doesn't have her holidays until the end of the month.

I have fifteen year old twins with Aspergers. There are days when they're vile. Really fucking vile. I love them dearly and would not change them, be without them or let anyone else call them vile, but because I love them, doesn't mean there are days when I really don't like what they're doing.
