i hate it!!
i just think to myself, 'i would never have dared speak to my parents like that'...but then,i'd be likely to have the threat of a slap hanging over me! can't do that these days,and they bloody well know it!
just said to dd,"no you can't go to the shop on your brothers bike" (its too small for her hence dangerous!) she retorted with a snappy 'mum,it's none of your business'. this is just one example of her gobby retorts. she has recently become both a teenager,in july,and started at the upper school,sept,so see's herself as supremely grown up!
i seem to ground her for the slightest thing these days. she says i'm way too strict.
how do you al get the balance right?
