After my first ever post on this forum I thought things were getting better, how stupid was I?
Attitude hasn't changed but I'm "picking my battles" like advised and that was working a little but it's the lies that I can't understand :( 16yr old DD1 has been violently vomiting in the mornings the last two days and when I went to help she was snapping at me like it was my fault. After she got the pill & morning after pill from GP we thought maybe these are symptoms? Asked around and lots of people were saying it sounds like morning sickness -.- tried speaking to her about it and she was just interested in asking if she can go out tonight (of course we said no cause she wasn't well) anyway throughout the night I have done the normal mum things like make sure she's hydrated, run her a bath when she wanted one, held her hair back when she was being sick, finally managed to get her to eat some toast and keep it down, gave her my iPad to watch a film on cause she said she was bored but didn't want to watch what everyone else was watching on the Main TV, then set up a bed downstairs for her to sleep the night so that I can keep an eye on her and be there if she needs me throughout the night. Anyway she fell asleep mid texting her boyfriend (see my other thread for anything to do with that) I went to move her phone and put it on charge and the screen lit up showing a txt saying "they probably don't want to take me to hospital" and I was shocked because hospital hadn't been mentioned at all, anyway I thought before I jump to conclusions I would scroll up and see what the hospital business was all about and I found txts saying "mum and dad told me to stay in bed and that I'm not allowed to get out of bed" and "mum and dad keep bringing up ice packs and I have four blankets on me" "mum and dad are threatening to take me to hospital and I don't want to go" and "mums creeping me out, she just said her and daddy will look after me and make sure I'm ok, what's that mean?" Then there were txts about some party where they're planning on going to on the evening of my birthday meal and then hotel and staying the night but will need to bring between £30 & £50 each for drinks! -.-
Why is she telling her boyfriend such silly lies?
We said she wasn't going out tonight and isn't going in to school tomorrow because of being sick, no one told her she wasn't allowed out of bed, if anything we were encouraging her to come downstairs, no one took ice packs up at all & she was only using a duvet not four blankets and hospital wasn't mentioned at all and neither was the GP until much later on tonight. Then what's the nastiness about me creeping her out :( that was hurtful I can't deny and then the birthday plans of mine being shoved aside for a party/hotel/drinks with her boyfriend. I'm just feeling like utter shit and now that iv seen proof that she's lying about so many silly things it's hurtful cause I don't understand why she would do this :( sorry if this is all mumble jumble but it's 6am here and haven't slept as was sitting up with DD1 while she was being sick.
