UGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Please just tell me I am not the only one who has wanted to kill their kid--not literally but you've wanted to string 'em up and tan the hide off them!

I have always been very close to my daughter, and I have read that often the closer you are to a child when that child is growing up, the rougher the waters when it comes time for the 2 of you to part ways as he or she becomes more and more independent and finally out on his or her own. I guess that is what is happening here.

I am so angry that I am crying...I am just seething. I wonder, "Who in the hell is this person standing in front of me?! Who is this spoiled brat with no morals?! It sure isn't the kid I knew and raised for 18 yrs!" I feel so helpless and lost! :mygod:

I think it's called Parenthood. It comes with the birth certificate.


And the birth certificate is the only permanent thing you get with a kid. Everything else will keep changing.

Gonna get booted out of smartypants school, 12 years old!"


Remember some day she will have her own kids....Mother's Revenge!

BlueSwede---I know it is difficult,because I didn't do it myself.Try to put yourself in their shoes,when you were the kid,dealing with your parents.It's really hard when they are growing up&you know
what kind of people are out there and they think you are exaggerating!I didn't realise,until I saw my kids with their own kids,that,my wife&I did a pretty good job.You want to kill them at the time,but cheer up!In a few years,it will be your grandchildren,
whose asses that you want to kick! Irish

I always felt like I wouldn't sell any of our kids for a million dollars ...



but there were days I would have given them away for free.



I think we all face times like that. You've got my sympathy, BlueSwede. Most of them eventually come around. Four of our seven have ... two are still dependents ... and one ... well ... we keep hoping.

LMAO



Funny how this thread sat around orphan for almost an hour……… then 4 replies in 23 minutes.

Thanks, everybody, I really needed some feedback to help me calm down. I'm usually very easy going and have, even my daughter says, LOTS of patience. But I know my blood pressure must be sky high at the moment.

And, sadly, Lilith, I've got one of those others you described, too! (The "I cannot believe he is so damn smart and does absofuckinglutely nothing with it!") Do you think I can get anybody to do a 2-for-1 trade?!

And now she's in a great mood and all smiles like nothing happened. Meanwhile, I'm still pretty shakey.

Irish, at least the grandchildren you can send back home to Mommy and Daddy once you've had a visit with them!

Thanks, everybody. It's so hard when they're going through the "terrible two's" but multiplied times 10 because they're teens...young people who think they are as grown up as their parents but still sleep with a stuffed animal.

Don't worry too much, BlueSwede. Firstly for the very good reason that nothing you do now is going to make much difference, but secondly because in a year or two she'll start to turn into a human being again, and you may even like her. If you're lucky.....

With age comes"I wish that I had"I remember when my
parents,would get called in to see the teacher(many times).
I always got "pissed off"when the teachers,would tell my
parents,that I was working"Way below my potential"That I
did just enough to get by!They were right.I now wish that
I had applied myself more,but at the time,I didn't think that
it was"Cool"They also said that I,"Resented Authority!"Right
again! Irish
P.S.I respect authority,when it is in the proper place.It usually
isn't!

Sharniqua I feel the same way! My mother used to tell me she hoped I had kids just like I was as a kid. I did. She thought it was funny then.

I just hope that some day I'm half as smart as my 11 year old is...

ROFL!!!! Me too!!! I thought it wasn't until the teen years that they thought they knew everything. My almost 11 year old son knows it all! He is also one of those..."I cannot believe he is so damn smart and does absofuckinglutely nothing with it." I've been doubly blessed...lol!
