We are moving house on Friday because my 8 yr old DS is now at a fee paying school 18 miles away and the driving to and fro is terrible. Understandably my DD is digging her heels in and refusing to pack up any of her room. I can see that by Thursday evening she will still have done barely nothing and things will get pretty stressed. I do sympathise with her, as she has been at school and 6th from around here since she was 11. She has been an absolute teen terror from HELL, and still is. I feel its my fault as i left her Dad when she was 3yrs old. Our relationship is not good but time and time again i put up with her awful rudeness and turn the other cheek. I understand why she doesnt want to move, but she is leaving home in Sept to go to London University. Also, i know its not the ideal time as she has one more exam to do, which i will drive her over for.
I know this is a vague shot in the dark but have you any suggestions about how to tackle thing on Friday and Thursday night ??
