Is there any way to fast forward past the mouthy, know everything teenage DRAMA QUEEN years?? I am seriously so tired of it this week. Not that I like it any other week, but this week it is really getting to me. I don't know if it is because "my special visitor" just left or if it is because we were nice enough to allow a teenager we don't know come stay for a week and Drama Queen is unappreciative. Probably a combination of the two.
Drama Queen has started trying to talk down to me, as if I am the child and she is the adult. She questions every move I make, including who I am on the phone with. Of course when I mention this to her the response is always the same, "What did I do?", said in a whining voice obviously.
Her friend seems to be a lovely girl....when she isn't being told what to do by my daughter. It is ridiculous really. I know that I was not a "good" kid by any means but Cheese and Rice I was no where near this level. Drama Queen never does anything wrong in her eyes, she is disrespectful, rude, mean to her siblings, and thinks that the world revolves around her. I try and give her a little bit of leeway since she just moved in with me after living with her step mother (her dad is out of the country for the second time) but there is only so much I can take.
I am at a loss...someone help me please or I may have to take up drinking.
