[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP,

Just wanted to bring up this possibility if you are looking for why this can be happening. 
Sure it could be because she's a tween and then she'll be a teen. 
I'm reading a book now about adult ADD and one of the things that they mention is what you describe- forgotten conversations, agreements, a completely different perception of what actually happened.

My 13 year old DD is creative and temperamental too, and she has ADHD. Your description sounds familiar to me. 
I am afraid it's going to cause her problems later in life, that's why I'm reading a book about Adult ADD. These kinds of traits just don't go away.

Ugh, DCUM's answer to everything -- ADHD.[/quote]

Yes, Ugh, right? That's what I said too. 
I only did a lot of research on it after my DD got diagnosed. Sure yes, it's "over diagnosed" for children only because it's now being evaluated more often. 
It's totally under diagnosed for adults because back 10,15,20 years ago, ADHD was only known as depression, anxiety, etc. These are the same people who are pre-disposed to addictions.

Now that I know the symptoms, I realize I know so many people around me who have it. It's not just about "personalities." These personalities are neurologically based. 
What makes a person forgetful? Absent-minded? Remember events completely different from what actually happened?

So you can say ugh all you want. But you might want to do some research and observe people around you.
