OMG 14,i've got another 3 yrs,i can just about cope and its only been 3 mths!!!!!! sob,sob, i'm just off to the Dr to get a lorry load of valium :-( glad we never had the four girls we originally wanted-i'm already going grey-

I do sympathise Karen, but as a mother of four children three of them girls, one aged fifteen and the other two eleven year old twins it does get better eventually but like Lil says it usually gets worse first, I think my eldest started getting out of that bad attitude stage at about fourteen albeit very slowely.

Oh Karen it does get better, Bless

no problems at school, like you said,its the dreaded 'H' word

thanks girls, i feel so much better now....................................................not

Sounds like hormones, Karen. If my 15-y-o daughter gets like that - and she does, often - I say 'oh, it's the hormones again!'. She hates that. So I tell her to either lighten up, or shut up if she wants to be moody - just don't take it out on us. (This, of course, is if there's no other problem). If she argues with that, I say 'please yourself then', which she also hates, as she's not getting the fight she wants. Could there be another problem? At school? x

I wish I knew! sob sob! LOL One seventeen and one nine years old.

Oh Karen, it's just one phase after the other from now on. BUT, there will come a time when she will be lovely again............ I just can't tell you when. They all have different rates of change. Deanna X

Let's hope so but from my experence it get's worse before it get's better, good luck Lil

....tell me my 11yr old daughter will return to the happy,jokey,fun girl she used to be and not the stroppy,rude one thats now before me. there is sometimes a glimmer of hope but then........... i ask 'what would you like for breakfast?' and i get back'I DON'T WANT ANYTHING--I FEEL SICK,MY STOMACH HURTS AND I'M NOT HUNGRY' Karen (aka stresshead)
