[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The problem is YOU. You expect them to still be kids and they’re not, they’re teens. You need a parenting class.
Get your nose out of their homework and most everything else - stop inserting yourself into their lives and decisions so closely .
As for the verbal snark - expect that and again, adjust your expectations.
My DD is apparently a radiant angel honor student at school but when she comes home she’s literally a curse spitting devil sometimes. It’s rare that she’s so out of line that I would correct her or say something angry back, it just seems to be a necessary thing for teens. If they bottle that up way worse things happen.

Seriously stop being offended- it’s a natural thing. My mother STILL talks about how she hates/can’t stand teenagers and it’s been 25 years since she’s had a teen - and I can tell you that she is a controlling psycho bitch from hell with no emotional intelligence and no acceptance of other people who are different than her. Don’t be anything like her - please.[/quote]

It's not her problem, she is right, teens are difficult and self centered. It take a lot of patience to get through the teen years. It's hard to be a teen, most of them are hormonal and are under a lot of social and academic pressure. They are miserable and insecure a lot of the time. So teens unleash it on a 'safe' person - mom.  If you can get them through those years without them becoming parents, being on drugs or losing focus on the future (college) you've accomplished something. Hang in there![/quote]
