Teenage girls are total dicks

[Codswallop20]

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??

My eldest DD changed totally the September she turned 15, the term she went into Y10. She'd been lovely until then, literally within a week of being back at school she was utterly horrible, a complete alien. It was an awful few years, she was determined that I was the enemy. That was over 20 years ago and I don't think we will ever really get over it.

This is a corker of a post:

“josssie
Mine was never like this. I did notice other parents suffering, but noticed also the lack of interest in their children in senior school and kinda gave their kids a label... oh they're in their room all the time, they're lazy, can't be bothered, won't listen etc.,
I really enjoyed parenting my daughter at senior school, coaching and teaching how to deal with different situations, how to argue/stand her ground and not bite... how to be sassy and understand what's really going on with other people and why they're so bitchy... how to evade fights, how to network and make friends and why. How to negotiate, plan and think about her future, what type of job she wanted, how much she wanted/needed to earn if she wanted a nice house,car and holiday... and more...
I know it's easier said than done and takes time to really find out what's going on with your child... but you definitely need an open mind and not judge...
good luck, hope you get to enjoy it as much as I did and still most definitely do x“

Dd12 is just horrible atm. Monosyllabic, cannot b arsed to communicate with me other than if she wants something. Doesn't ever want a hug, yet she used to be so loving

The worst is how she looks at me so disdainfully, makes me so sad

I was the same with my mum though (and how bad I feel about that now)

Yes, THAT look - withering! I get sad too when I remember how she would look at me with sheer love

Mum here to 3 girls. Eldest was a nightmare teen, I couldn't do anything right. She's an amazing adult now. Middle daughter was an amazing teen, thought I'd struck lucky. Rocked up pregnant at 16! Hard work as an adult. My 15 year old is wonderful but she has depression and anxiety and it's difficult to get her out of her room and motivated but she's just started giving me the best hugs again after a few years of 'don't touch me'! I parented them all differently, middle one obviously shocked us by getting pregnant. She had the best teenage years with her horses and good friends, she got in with a bad lad and she changed so quickly and really hasn't gone back and we a still dealing with the fallout years later

[quote Oneforthemoneytwo]@josssie well done on being mother of the year and sharing how your superior parenting has passed other mothers by[/quote]
I bet her DD doesn't live anywhere near her now

Sorry no not mine.

My fifteen year old daughter is an absolute dream. The most thoughtful, generous and brightest little lady. She’s never once sacred like a dick and I’d never refer to her as one. I feel sad for ya :-(

When I say I parented them all different is because they are all different. They all had lovely childhoods but became very different teens. I learned to pick my battles. Alot of it is hormones and brain synapses changing and maturing. I wouldn't want to be a teen again. So much is expected of them and they are just reaching adult hood and maybe still not sure what they want in life. As much as they are hard work we all know we would walk over hot coals for them xxx

@ilovechocolateandcake

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

I hear you sister. I also had the c bomb dropped on me today, right before mine absconded and I had to sprint after her like some old knackered version of linford christie.

Acted like, not scarred!
I hope your relationship improves x

Found my people.... I was just going up the stairs muttering to myself about my self-righteous egotistical snarky DD2(12). DD1 seems to be getting a bit better at 14. Hang on in there everyone

Yep. I was definitely a massive dick. Hoping any future DD will be a little bit less so but won't hold my breath! It's the hormones.

Also to add, many of us can’t imagine the immense added pressure they feel to post so much on social media. It is relentless
I was born in the 70s so we didn’t have that added pressure then of course

what a disgusting misogynistic post. No wonder your daughters act up if this is how you view them

@Minfilia and @RufustheFloralmissingreindeer
My people! 9 year old DD is exactly like this. Still tantrums, throws stuff/herself around. Rude, eye rolling, vile to us and her brother, only behaves when she wants something. If it carries on like this I don’t know what we’ll do. Absolutely dreading teenage years 😩

I was great in my opinion

Why did you post this in AIBU? GAH!

From around age 13 to age 17, I was Satan in a crop top, particularly at 15..massive bitch!

Tonight mine cooked pasta for her & her BF. She used a small sauce pan & a lot of pasta. I reminded her that it was going to swell when cooked, which of course got a snarled "I know that".

She's so stubborn she carries on cooking too much pasta in a small pan & I leave her to it, after her DF suggests a bigger pan & she snarls more. She ends up serving half cooked pasta which had half exploded over the top of the cooker & then stomping off in a strop because it was somehow MY fault

I needed this thread too

Mine is 14 almost 15 and she is vile. I feel for you OP. I only have to breath and I’m in the wrong. I feel like I’m dealing with a hostage situation most days. I struggle to like my DD. Apparently I was a complete prick so I’m guessing it’s payback. It’s hard though so you have prayers xx

I was a really good teenager as far as my parents were concerned. We had an eminently cordial relationship, all terribly civilised. Meanwhile I took out all my teenage angst on a neighbour who owned horses that I rode and was obsessed with. In return for the inconvenience he repeatedly molested me…

Maybe I’d have been better off doing the normal teenage thing and sparring with my parents instead.

Give over.

I've heartily enjoyed the response to my thread

I've had a hard day. I do love my kids but good god they can be hard work. Same DD was telling me only last night how much she loves me and thanks for all I do, etc etc and I laughed at the time and said it was only because she was getting what she wanted!!

Point proven as today I would have preferred the demonic entity from the exorcist as a child!

Cheers to all of us who deal with dicks.

I was fucking awful. Behaviourwise I wasn't TOO bad, I got on with school and didn't cause too much trouble, but I was a cocky, arrogant, know it all little shit and I don't know how anyone could stand to be around me for more than a few seconds. I was at least 22 before I started to resemble a normal person.
