Hi,
Full disclosure I'm not a Mum.
My daughter 15, does well social and at school but is really hard to take at home. She is at at Indi school, and we do graft hard to facilitate that. However
my daughter seems really profligate to us. Room is a complete mess, 12 wild
pigs would be cleaner around the home. Anyway to get to point of contention she has already dropped a laptop (macbook) which we replaced.Recently she got a new iphone which we told her many times to use a 'dropcase' and screen protector. She did not, and dropped it, rendering it operable. This has cut her off from friends etc so she is distraught.
My wife thinks she has to lump it, she wasn't born in the UK and had quite a poor upbringing, so it's doubly galling for her.
But I feel it me be better to just get her a new one (or fix it) just to not rock the boat at school/and with friends. We are both Livid.
She also does other stuff like giving 10 min warnings to take her places and pickup and basically having no empathy for us. Again its hard to take, and if I
think back I was a pretty helpful teen.
My boss said his daughter was awful from 13 - 18 and then came back onside, and saw reason at 19 20 - I believe this could be happen here as up to 12 she was quite helpful. any tips?
