[quote=Anonymous]OP checking in. Yes my DD has redeeming qualities - when she wants to, she is very organized and can reset her room very quickly.

Quite smart, finishes her homework quick and is often bored in school. Reads a lot. When she wants information she researches it herself -  she wanted to learn about skincare for her acne, she researched it, asked me to buy the ingredients and made it herself instead of just relying on other people's words on what worked.

But again, the problem I have is she does things that only benefit her - I think she is selfish. She does not help out and gets angry when we ask her to do her chores. She never does anything even when asked a couple of times.

She bosses my other kid too. Her routine is this: Come back from school, walk up to her room and be on the phone or computer. I have tried taking away both and when I do that, she just reads a book, She does have 2 extracurriculars and 2 after school activities so that is 4 hours a week. Rest of the time she is in her room and refuses to come down until it is dinner time. Even then the phone is with her. I have to tell her to put it away and then she eats very quickly and leaves the table.

She is on Instagram and Tiktok all the time.

And to the PP who asked, no, I'm not a troll.
