Can't be bothered to namechange,but I need some sense talking into me.
I feel so...disconnected from dd(13).I ask her to do things... its always when she's finished doing what she wants to do.
When her friends come round she's lippy, cocky and LOVES to try to humiliate me or dh or her brothers infront of her friends.
She begrudgingly helps out around the house, all the while tutting, eyerolling.
She is all over ds(5) but finds any reason she can to wind up and upset and belittle ds(7).
I am finding it increasingly hard to like her...we argue a lot. She never takes responsibility whne she has done something wrong. I am negative with her, I know I am...I was watching a video of when ds(7) was newborn and even then I'm saying "dd, get out of the shot, we've got loads of video of you"
If I heard anyone else talking to their dd the way she and I talk I would be appalled. but as we are both stubborn I find it hard to be nice to her, or loving. I don't like her at the moment...how awful does that sound?
