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 was dreadful, and awful rude lazy ugly lout. My mum nearly disowned me and there was at least one occasion where she pretended she didn't know me (we were on opposite sides of a wide road, lots of shoppers, me and my friend showing off). I prefer not to think about it!

Teenagers are officially maddened by the flood of hormones to their brains so it's not their fault. Apparently. I do take responsibility for my fhastly behaviour back then though.

Lol, I'm inclined to disagree- maybe only for today though!!

"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."

Thank you so much for the laughter @Codswallop20 and for the full thread

My nightmare toddler is now a fab teenager. Whereas perfect toddler is much more defiant and generally very frustrating to deal with.
There definitely seems to be a pattern of arsehole toddlers morphing into nice teenagers. My 15 yr old daughter is lovely but was spawn of Satan as a toddler. I’m still recovering

Dd can be rude, aegues more than a lawyer, has been caught nicking my booze and vaping, in her room and on phone 24/7.
She's also decided to do bronze d of e off her own back and has sorted her own activities hersrlf, loves babies, animals and old people and is in top sets for everything.
I am so proud and when the teen angst comes ( often) i remind myself that i waa just the same.

Newsflash " teenager is rude, drinks, experiments, argued and rebels " is hardly news.

Argues

malificent7 · 26/11/2021 06:14

She has since given up booze and vaping ( behind my bk) as i offered her a glass of wine and its now not cool or rebelious.

Kuachui · 26/11/2021 06:17

my mum always said she was lucky with me that i didnt cause any issues and was a good teen as shes expected hell, but i do remember judging everyone else, like i remember all of my friends being horrid to theyre parents and id wonder why. I was also friends witha girl who was like me and wasnt horrible but her sister was pure mean to her mum and then got to about 20 and was suddenly a nice person 🤔🤔 its just... strange

Yabu.

How can people say they were 'nightmares'? My parents would not allow me to act like a cow.
Just no way they'd let me misbehave. Sheesh I wouldn't want to cross my mum

@ilovechocolateandcake

My 15 year old DD has just called me a cunt I needed to read this. Thank you for starting this thread!!
Shock my mum would have slapped me and kicked out of the house. Her house, her rules. I was to obey and behave. This is f ridiculous, I'm sorry.
Fairylights25 · 26/11/2021 08:38

Wow, I would never ever describe my articulate, intelligent and thoughtful teens as you have. Perhaps the issues start with your attitude towards her?

@Rosewaterblossom

I'm finding it easier to navigate my teens far better than when they were toddlers... maybe it's just me.

Toddlers are just a mind fuck, teens at least leave you alone. I can have such a laugh with my 15 Yr old dd, when she's "on one" I can avoid.. she's a good kid all round though.

I remember when mine was a toddler reading that the personality traits that made for a "good" toddler - friendly, eager to please, trusting, motivated by rewards, generally obedient become much more difficult to deal with when they become teenagers and that behaviour is directed towards their peers rather than their parents.

It was comforting in my case as the parent of a very strong willed toddler, and also suggests that difficult teenagers are generally nice kids who just need to learn a bit of wisdom and sensible decision making skills.

I called my mother a bitch when I was 11/12...she slapped me hard across my face. I never did it again. But these are different times...Do that now and you'll be in a whole heap of trouble with social services. My ds often rude and calls me names...we are constantly removing tech as a punishment. It's an ongoing cycle of rudeness and removal of phone... sigh

lousanne · 26/11/2021 09:07

But these are different times...

This was only 10 years ago (with me). My mum would not be threatened with social services. I knew if I called them I'd be taken away.

ToughTittyWhompus · 26/11/2021 09:12

Eldest DD is 13 and in Y9 (summer born) and seems mostly okay… So far.

Although I did hear her scream at DD10 last night “just piss the fuck off will you mate” Grin Blush

DD10 is a fucking horror bag - Autism + puberty = Nuclear Rage 24/7. She’s a major wind up merchant with her elder sister, but an absolute darling to DD5.

DD5 was shat out of Satan’s arsecrack, I seriously dread the teen years with her.

Note: I love them all more than anything, before anyone kicks off.

That's good luck, rather than good management.
inigomontoyahwillcox · 26/11/2021 09:20

YANBU in the slightest, still adore the 13yo little shit though.

lousanne · 26/11/2021 09:55

No @GADDay , that's establishing 'who the boss is' in the house.
I love my mum and we're really close but I was too scared to go against her. She would ground me, take things off me, not allow me go to birthday parties (refusing to drive me), tell me friends not to come to our house anymore... she took no prisoners and in the end I just learnt to go with what she says.

lousanne · 26/11/2021 09:55

One Xmas I was a real shit and she bought me no Xmas presents.
That never happened again!

It's weird isn't it, but that pattern certainly fits us too, DD was a breeze as a toddler. Our friends DS an absolute nightmare. He's so unusual for a teen in that he's always as thoughtful, helpful & polite as they come. DD on the other hand is "such a joy, so well mannered & thoughtful" to every other fecker but us, especially me

If someone would say this about teenage boys there would be an uproar.
