ground her
What can i do when she talks to me like i am dog dirt under her shoe?
in your mother voice - whisper " i am a human being and as such i will be treated with respect" repeat
What do i do while she is hitting me over and over? Do I take it? Do I fight back? Do I walk away?
call the police
What do i do when she is my only reason for living and she says she hates me and wants to go to Social Services?
tell her to fuck off to social services - hand her the phone - give her the number
My heart is breaking. I feel like I am falling apart.
She is 14. How much longer does this go on for?
til she gets a boyfriend or goes to college
remember when she was a toddler.... pushing her boundries " don't touch - it burns, dont touch it burns"?
this is the same. its alpha female agains wannabe alpha female.
call her bluff
it does break your heart i know exactly what your going through - except my son didn't attack me or my husband would have knocked him out.
however if my daughter should attack me - i will knock her out - but i was restrained enough to advise calling the police.
despite the calls am bound to get off mumsnet of childbatterer - i will have no hesitation in fighting back.
as a mother it doesntn't give me the right to demand things off my children becuase of my title. as a human being i should be afforded a certain amount of respect and dignity. if someone were to attack me on the street i would fight back. as a daughter she holds no special disposition by virtue of her title.
my son has walked out on his grounding - i locked the door. he slept in the shed. he asked for a coat - " the one i bought?" asks i
"yeah" says he
"your having a fucking giraffe" says i as i closed the door.
i work, i pay the bills its my house and if they dont like it they can fuck off to social services becuase despite getting a roof and food and warmth - they will get no love, no laughs, no good memories. and i have told them so.
i phoned social services they told me he was my responsability til he is 18 - that was that - no help, no follow through, no phone back. so i tells son " it goes both ways kid" every time you run away i phone the police they will bring you back, you run - i phone - you run - i phone. social services don't want you - so its my rules or get your own place"
" i cant get my own place"
"my rules it is then - your grounded for another month"
make her get a job
dont give her any money
dont speak to her unless she apologises
