My daughter is 13 in May but acts more like a 6 year old. She will not brush her hair and it's always left for me to do in a morning which results in her screaming and shouting at me to "get off" at the top of her voice. She also refuses to wash it so on average it gets washed about twice a week and always looks messy and greasy, it isnt in any particular style as she won't do it properly and won't let me do it either, it just 'hangs' clinging to her face like a mop.
She also refuses to get a bath more than twice a week so she constantly stinks, she is overweight too and has started to get spots around her stomach and her groin which look like sweat spots. She genuinly doesnt care what she wears either, if I brought her a 50's flowered summer dress to wear to the shops she would happily put it on, she just doesnt care. She has some old black, old fashioned trainers that she has had for ages now and refuses to come shopping with me so that I can buy her some modern ones for school, she would rather keep the old fashioned ones than go shopping for new...what kind of 13 year old would do that??
Besides all this I am concerned about her childish ways, she has written a christmas list out and has put stuff like "gross magic" and megnetix etc...most of the stuff she wants is the kind of stuff little boys would play with, not 13 year old girls. Last year she still believed in father christmas and cried when I told her it was just something parents say to kids, I assumed she knew but she didnt!
Am I right to be worried here?
