Teens

[Formumzy]

Anyone got any stroppy teenagers ? Would
Like to know how you deal with them they
Are driving me mad ,being argumentive.
All the time. I've got two 12 an 13.

Just to give you some hope for the future - my stroppy teen is 19 now and went off to uni this September. She came home much nicer - tidies up her snotrags without prompting (she has a constant cold), made dinner when I was ill (again, without prompting), bought me a very nice Christmas present with her huge student grant and scholarship. She was horrible 11-14 ish, then a lull, then politer but other problems (drink, dodgy boyfriends, not studying) between 16-18.

So there's hope for the future. Try to bite your tongue and be patient!

Thanks Gemma 10 for your reply ,
Glad it's not jus me then, I do try an bite my
Tongue sometimes but it's very hard when
When you've got a over sensitive child ,he gets
Angry over very stupid things, glad there is light
At the end of tunnel .
