Melodramatic 13 year old daughter!!!!  

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Last nite was a doosey. Was it a full moon. Here is my story.

As previously stated, I have a 13 year old daughter. I am trying to figure out why everything seems to be so so dramatized. I don't remember being this way at that age. She has been buggin me about getting a perm. She has had several perms and its damaged her hair. I do not want her to get another one anytime soon. She has split end. I am fearful that another perm will make her hair fall out. Well last nite she wanted to go to the store. Keep in mind this was late,,,and I told her no. Well she gets her coat on and leaves out the house and goes to get them perm. (With her own money of course given to her by her grandfather) Anyway, I take it and hide it from her. She starts to cry because she thinks her hair is so awful and she thinks it doesn't look right . At the same time. She is crying about school also. She doesnt like her friends anymore because they are too petty and its always he-said-she-said things going on. All of this happened last nite...She was crying and screaming and told me that I don't listen to her anymore. I listen to her all the time. I try giving her hugs and kisses, but still its not the same as when she was younger. Also, the nickname I gave her since she was younger is off limits now...All of this really hurts. Can someone please tell me they are going thru the same attitude, moodswings, and my life is over scenario with their teen Any advice will be helpful. :

This sounds like something my 13 year old daughter would do! When she decides she must have something, she drives me crazy. She just can't let it go. She must have it now!

She is also melodramatic and something that is a huge problem one day is nothing the next.

Hang in there, I am sure this will pass. And then come back. And then pass again.

Drop the nickname, and take her to a decent hairdresser for a cut. That might help some.

We have been going around and around about this for sometime. Each time its the same result. The tears, screaming, and the more tears, screaming.

I think she is teasing with the nickname. Just a ploy to get me to do what she wants. But she will be getting her hair trimmed.
