Teenage girls are total dicks

They really are. Selfish hormone driven cock wombles.

I think they should all be forced to live on an island and only be allowed to return when they are sane.

AIBU??

I must admit, sometimes I do feel like sending my DDs age 16 & 14 to an island Grin

Santaischeckinglists · 25/11/2021 20:57

A month after turning 16 dd has morphed into The Perfect Dd..
Hang in there..
Other dd 14 is still Satan in a frock..

I hear you - I really do - I have 3 (one 13 in a week/17/19)

I am counting down the days until the big two go to Uni

However do not overlook their humour, resilience, occasional acts of housework and tea making skills - they aren't always awful - and they grow out of it x

Sorry I have never felt that way.

I was a massive prick. I'm nice again now. I hope.

FindingMeno · 25/11/2021 21:00

I was an absolute nightmare so it'd take a lot for me to banish my offspring.
I wouldn't mind going to the island with them actually and live a bit.

ExitWest · 25/11/2021 21:00

I was horrendous until I was 19. My poor bloody Mum.

DD is 13 now and I have a feeling payback is starting.

Comedycook · 25/11/2021 21:01

I haven't got a teenage DD...yet.
I do have a teenage ds...it's a nightmare!!!

Hankunamatata · 25/11/2021 21:02

Mum says pre gcse and gcse years were hell.

ilovechocolateandcake · 25/11/2021 21:02

My 15 year old DD has just called me a cunt I needed to read this. Thank you for starting this thread!!

sparepantsandtoothbrush · 25/11/2021 21:02

My 14 year old DD is bloody lovely, sorry 😁

A8mint · 25/11/2021 21:04

Maybe yours are. Mine are not

SunShinesBrightly · 25/11/2021 21:04

I probably wouldn’t say it in those words OP 😳 but yes, teenage girls can be as challenging as teenage boys!

SunShinesBrightly · 25/11/2021 21:05

‘SOME’ teenage girls/boys

mineofuselessinformation · 25/11/2021 21:05

IME, teenage boys also go through this, but a year or two earlier... YANBU.
Thanks and WineCakeGin for anyone affected.
Also IME, it all blows over, but you never really stop worrying about them anyway. Grin

SusannaQueen · 25/11/2021 21:06

Tbh, I'm torn between feeling heartbroken at the fact that she'll leave home soon or feeling the urge to give her a one way ticket to some where far away right this minute.

She's 16, I get glimpses of a lovely person every so often, we have some laughs and lovely times, she can be good company. But my god, she can be rude, very cutting, temperamental, selfish and she reduces me to tears sometimes.

YANBU.

Cheeseandlobster · 25/11/2021 21:07

I was awful. A proper cock Womble. I think teenage girls are awful younger and grow out of it earlier too. I was probably at my worst at 15. Now 13 is the worst age I think

SusannaQueen · 25/11/2021 21:07

@sparepantsandtoothbrush

There's time yetGrin

RaoulDufysCat · 25/11/2021 21:08

Mine's 15 and really nice, I mean genuinely helpful and loving. BUT it is just her and me about 80% of the time so I wonder if she kind of has to be nice to me because there isn't anyone else around so if she's horrible to me she's going to be a bit stuffed for company of an evening!

Twounderfive83 · 25/11/2021 21:08

I don’t have any but I was awful! The things I did that my parents never knew about when I was far too young to be doing them. I absolutely cringe and would die if my DC did anything similar.

MaryAndGerryLivingInDerry · 25/11/2021 21:09

My mum has never forgiven me for being a teenager. And I really wasn’t awful.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 25/11/2021 21:10

Gosh. I must have been incredibly lucky as my DD has largely been a delight.

Changecountetextraordinaire · 25/11/2021 21:11

WineWineWine solidarity. But they're great when they come out the other side. Hopefully Grin
