I am finding this stage really hard ( DD is 11). To be honest I wasn’t looking forward to the teenage years but DD is already pushing the boundaries & can be very moody. She does have additional needs & we strongly suspect that she is on the spectrum but that aside, she’s basically hard work! I am an emotional person so get dragged in to arguments when I know I should say very little. We argued this afternoon over DD’s bedroom. It escalated very quickly & she threw loads of stuff at me ( not physically). She’s adopted & so the move to this house was difficult & quite often if we fall out she will remind me how much she hates this house & that she would rather have lived in any of the other properties we viewed. DH & I have done quite a bit in her room, even letting her redecorate ( which was pretty awful!) The argument today started over DD wanting to move another set of drawers into her room from the garage. I should have reacted in a really low key way but I didn’t so it all kicked off. Obviously the lockdown isn’t helping. Can anyone empathise? At the moment I feel like moving out until she’s at least 20 lol 😂
