As I've said this is a longish post but I need advice to help out my mum.
I am the oldest of two and have 2 girls of my own. I have a half sister who is 13. As you can tell from her being my half sister we have different fathers. Our fathers are very different on parenting and I feel this is the root of the problem.
My Sister is being a nightmare. She has 4-6 tantrums a day which are now progressing to being violent. She can't handle being told off and when she has a tantrum it's like a red mist comes down. Ever since I can remember she has always had problems taking instructions it's like she doesn't understand what you're saying. Her father has never really been that involved with her but now her moods are getting worse his answer is to ground her and just shout.
How do you mums of teenagers deal with them when they do that tantrum thing? As the moods keep getting worse I think my mum is almost ready to leave. Any advice will help!
