I cant cope, she is soooooo grumpy, if i say its black, she will says its white, nothing i say or do is right, I'm 'soooo old' and she hates everything. The days she is at college and her job I can relax , the days at home she is immense hard work. Doesnt like any of the food I have in so frequently orders herself Mc d. Wont eat most of the meals I cook either.

Im in tears some days as just cannot cope. I am drinking a glass of wine every evening now as its my only way to relax.

She is 17

Apparently I am stupid because I won't get dd15 a £30 a month phone contract for an iphone 11 as her iPhone 8 is broken and she needs a phone.
Having just sent 1500 quid at the vet's she is deluded...
Bill aside she is' aff her heed 'thinking she had any chance at all anyway!!
Sent her to youth club with the minimum quid to get in!!
Learn people- grounding a teen is a form of self torture I never do..

My daughter is 17. She is also rude, disrespectful and totally thinks the world revolves around her.
I've stopped doing her meals and her washing. Shes still as self absorbed but I don't get as frustrated now I'm not doing these things for her. Atm I dont talk to her unless she talks to me. I like my head on my shoulders,not being bitten off.
Sympathies all
