vent - 12 yr old is driving me insane. - Page 3

[Imakcerka]

yeah I remember being 12, my emotions were insane. I always felt like nobody in my house cared about how I felt. I remember crying for ever because my didn't think to pack my lunch when in reality I forgot to get it out of the fridge. I was so mad at her. I hated my parents always telling me what to do, when I thought I knew exactly what to do. Such a hard age.

Oh good, at least I'm not alone... DD is only *starting* this journey, I'm not sure if I can make it another two years.  This, however, is a daily thing around here. I'm waiting for her to move on to the 'washing hair constantly' phase, because adolescence causes grease.  ICK!

I ask 'Did you wash your hair?', her reply was 'I forgot'.
