Anyone else scared of their own child when keeping to punishments? My nervousness and dread is the shouting, screams and nasty words.
Phone taken off her last night (there was HUGE row over something she should have done..the usual..said I was nagging cos had asked her nicely several times,..and not for the first time which escalated, ofcourse as it always does with her as she gets into a spiral of rage and seems possessed and the final straw was the f word) so ..phone off her,as previously warned cos it's the only thing which makes any difference. I went out as previously planned, leaving her with dh..apparently more rows throughout evening, got back at 10.15, she crept down v sorry..and this morning asked for phone back. Rule is 24 hours (not much point being 12 hours overnight, esp when most of it taken up in shouting..poor neighbours..must think we are the parents from hell as NEVER heard loud words from them or their teenagers)
I find it scarey coming up against her, don't like rows myself..feel like going with the dog and hiding!!! sometimes think I am an awful mum and she WILL hate me and resent me for all her life in a corner of her mind.
