*Tell me about your 11-12 year old girls…* Mine is so emotionally volatile - I literally do not know who will wake up in the morning. She constantly switching from bolshy, to withdrawn, to sweetness and light! 4 seasons in an hour! I love her to bits but I do find this new stage of parenting quite tough - especially when I feel that I am always the one she blames or is angry at when things don’t go her way. Sometimes she is incredibly mature but other times I am dealing with a very angry and hateful girl… I know it’s not her as such. I want to help her. But I also feel so much much attitude from her towards me - and sometimes my very presence or tone of voice just sets her off. I don’t think it helps that o am the one that makes and enforces rules whereas her dad is much softer. How’s everyone else getting on and when does it get easier? Will it get worse?
