To expect my 17 year old daughter to remove her hood while inside the house

[saturdaygirl]

She is having a bad hair day and so is walking round with the hood up on her hoody looking like someone from the getto

Poor girl's having a bad hair day - YABU

shes in the house! i can only assume that most people have at some point seen her with her legs akimbo and sh*t all over when in nappies. Bad hair? who does she think cares? coz it probably ain't her parents! yanbu

we have a saying in our house 'don't sweat the small stuff'
i think this is small stuff ergo YABU

Dmst - no need to be crude

leave the poor girl alone, at least she's indoors and not hanging around a street corner. it would be different if you had guests or were sitting round the table eating. If you can't slob out at home where can you ?

YABU, if that's the level of problem you have with your 17yo you are doing exceptionally well.

Dmst - no need to be crude

Assuming you don't have guests, why on earth does it matter?

we have got guests round - my sister and family are here

yabu ...my ds walks around in a floppy woolly hat

YABU

Your sister isn't a visitor....she is family! Give the girl a break - its her home, she should feel able to wear a hoodie on a bad hair there more than anywhere else.

YABU
There is so much worse that she could be doing at 17.

YABU, she's obviously feeling very sensitive about her hair. Does it really matter?

I actually thought you were joking when I answered above, YADBU if you're genuinely getting pissed off with her for having her hood up inside.

i walk round with my hood up sometimes when im having one of those days!! its a secure feeling!!! prehaps its the time of the month and she feeling a bit rough!!

I just get so much pleasure seeing my 17yr old wandering around in all her funny hats,hoodies,ripped jeans etc.

Cos this time last year she had a large tumour removed and we thought we were going to lose her.
Just love her being healthy and with me.

I am so glad that your daughter is well and obviously you have your own personal reasons for not having a problem with hoodies. But on the whole I think Hoodies are threatening looking and agressive. I have a teenage daughter who also roams around in her hoody. I have noticed that when she does not have her hoody on she is quite reasonable and will reply to me. BUT when she wears her hoody she is RUDE, LOOKS AGRESSIVE AND ONLY GRUNTS REPLIES! So YANBU to expect her to keep it off in the house! BIG HUGS!

sometimes girl - thanks for the support. Could I just say your name is very similar to my and could cause confusion. May I respectfully suggest that you change it?

maybe Sometimesgirl when your dd wears her hoody like that she is in a bad mood and thats why she grunts etc the hoody is the sympton no the cause.

Thanks,
I guess its like dealing with them when they are younger and start pushing boundaries,just ignore the rudeness completely and only aknowledge when being reasonable.
Its no fun grunting and being aggressive without an audience,also no fun then to not have lifts,allowance and all the other extras.Suddenly attitudes change for the better!!!

I only wish that hoodies were around more when I was 17 and I may have been able to divert some attention away from myself from my toxic family ( not saying that your family is toxic in any way op) and as an aside saturdaygirl and sometimesgirl are very different IMHO

Just wanted to apologise to Saturday girl because you do seem a little upset about my name. I am new to this network and therefore chose my name because I sometimes log on to the network...so. Whats the expression???JOG ON!

yabu its not worth an argument
