[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 8 year old daughter tells me I'm terrible, mean the worst mother in the world, etc.  pretty much daily.  She fights with me constantly.  We do have some moments of intimacy but they are fleeting.  It's mostly conflict and dealing with her intense moods.  She started telling me she hated me when she was 3 (I think she learned the word at preschool).  I am in therapy to try to deal with her.  The relationship with my son is much less complicated and is much more pleasant.  Be happy with what you have!  The clothes were cuter when she as younger (now she just wears sports-type clothes), but really it's mostly been rough. [/quote]

Just had a huge fight with my teenage son.

At least he spoke some words during it. Usually I just get grunts and shoulder shrugs or head shakes or just plain ignored.

All kids are different. But in my own experience more moms of boys tell me their kids communicate very little with them than do moms of girls. Just my own personal anecdote. I know there are some communicative boys out there. I don’t have that and never have. [/quote]
