Oh my goodness she is testing me. She is 13 in January and mostly a kind loving girl but blimey it's trying.
She puts nothing away unless asked or turns off lights flushes toilet etc.
So if she eats cereal she leaves out milk sugar and cereal then the bowl.
Any room she goes into she leaves the lights on. She drops clothes where she undresses and towels where she dries. She leaves rubbish on the floor or sofa and gets extremely annoyed when I make her rectify any of these things.
She shoves her clean washing anywhere but into the drawers.
She stuffs her dirty knickers in hiding places.
I'm not a novice, I have three grown up sons and don't remember it being this bad.
Her latest thing is launching into hysterics at the slightest thing. So this morning couldn't find her. Pe shirt and despite me helping she escalated to a high pitched almost crying state "oh no where's my shirt I'm going to be laaaaatttteee"
I challenged her on this and so she left the house being pretty rude and slamming the door.
I literally don't know what to challenge and what to leave.
I feel that our relationship is becoming pretty negative as all I do is moan but I also don't want to be a pushover or her slave.
Any veteran daughter owners have any advice for the next seven years
