Just that really. I am on holiday now with DH and our two early teenager children. They have largely got on with each other better than they do at home most of the time and have joined in with water games/activities organised by the animation team etc.
But nearly every word that comes out of DD 13’s mouth is to poke fun at me she is surly, rude and disrespectful. When out for a meal she has little to say. We don’t let them take phones or iPads out (and never have had them at the table at home). She has no conversation if I look in her direction, pay her a compliment or ask her a question she either sticks her tongue out, pulls a face, snaps at me or mimics me. I am fed up with it. She is young for age and has no friends outside of school. I have tried to help with and I have taken time off work and done things with her.
DS 14 can hold a conversation but he can also be quite aggressive and rude in his tone. On holiday DH was speaking to me and we were having a discussion about which restaurant to go to and DS sticks his two penny’s in and starts getting really arsey etc. DH has told them both off several times. I am fed up with the pair of them last night I was awake thinking of ways I could get them to respect me and also punish them as they both do nothing at home. Neither make their beds, pick their dirty clothes up and take them to the wash, put cereal away, milk back in the fridge, clean up after making a snack etc etc without a carry on/argument/unless I hide their phones or knock the WiFi off.
I am fed up with them. They also bicker DD winds her brother up then he reacts over the top often hurting her or damaging something. They both used to be so lovely. But I now feel like a could really run away.
