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

sometimes girl - how rude a simple no would have done.

Jaffa - thanks for the tip she may just find that her lifts dry up

YABU
what's wrong with her having her hood up?

I like the sound of nevergirl for rude newbies.

If it's any consolation OP, my son insisted on wearing his baseball cap while he was in the delivery room with his girlfriend as she gave birth to their son. They were both 16 (I know, long story).
Teenagers, don't you love 'em?

How about 'rudesometimesgirl?

saturdaygirl, I think it's very arrogant of you to ask someone to change their name.

YABU. I walk around with my hood up in the house when I'm feeling a certain way. Makes me feel safe and secure.

YABU and totally ridiculous. It's a stereotype.

tell her she looks like a chav.. should help

yabu
who cares
ds likes to have his hood up or wear a "hat" if he is having a bad hair day.
no biggie

Ha! At 17 I was out taking whatever narcotics I could get my hands on pretty much every day of the week, and having really unsuitable relationships. If all you can find to moan about it is your daughter's hood being up then I think you should count your lucky stars. YABU.

Anyone who orders a 17 year old what clothes they can wear should not be remotely surprised when that 17 year old decides they don't really like their parents. Just be a tiny bit reasonable and you might find that your relationship with your kids improves exponentionally.

I remain amazed, and always will be, by those parents who think they can control their kids like robots and then wonder why their kids push them away.

On a scale of 1 to 10-does it really matter?
I would suggest that you save your battles for the important things.

its a hood, people out side of the "ghetto" wear hoods too...blimey, get a life...

Pick your battles!

Get her some GHDs

I threw this one open to my DCs (10 and 8)

DD's comment: "she's being unreasonable - at least it stops her getting food in her hair."

I wouldn't care if my 8 year old wore her hoodie in the house. Life's too short to get aerated at what they wear

It would irritate me...but hey!...

YABU... for the hoodie and for expecting someone to change their name because it bears a passing resemblance to yours!

YABu.

She could be smacked up and pregnant. SOme things matter, and some things don't matter, and this is one of the latter.

it would drive me nuts, by try to let it go. you are sort of being reasonable. not worth the aggro to fight with her about it, or with another mnetter about names.

why do you care so much? you sound a bit cats bum mouth to me so if it wasnt the hoodie it would prob be something else, like a another MNetter with thge same vowels as you in their name or something.....

my step daughter use to wear a baseball cap 24/7,it use to drive me mad but i said nothing,she soon out grew it,i dont see the point in starting an argument for no reason,teenagers are funny people,ignore her,she will soon move onto the next craze..

Just tell her to wash her hair - simple!
