Preteen Woes

[PreteensRUS]

Tell me your have a preteen without telling me you have a preteen! I’ll go first…

1. Sweetness and light telling me her period is light and not painful…next breath screaming at her sister because for a milli second she blocked the TV and announces “It’s all your fault Mum” and starts crying.
2. Both her and her twin sister have synced within a few days of mine. I have realised my PMT is like a ray of sunshine in comparison.
3. Tantrum’s because I won’t get her a McDonald’s for lunch because she “needs it or she might die because your cooking is awful!”

Am I unreasonable for thinking that I would much prefer toddler tantrums to pre teen hormones?!

Found ours on her phone in bed at 10pm the other night (utterly forbidden, DH had forgotten to check it wasn't in the room at lights out).

Her answer when I asked why she'd broken this very clear rule?

"You're always taking it away and checking the history. It's like you don't trust me!"

I think she did see the irony somewhere in there!

It really makes the toddler stage seem like a walk in the park!
