[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP - I burst out laughing because this is exactly how my 12 year old is. Down to the we have to leave at a certain time or I get yelled at. She also says I drive too slow and says I could have made the light - when it clearly turned red before I even got to it. I have threatened she takes the bus in the am bc me driving her is a privilege. I have taken away screens as well when she’s especially rude. I try to stay calm but it’s hard. [/quote]

I’m surprised you’re still driving her if there is an option for a bus!!! Waste of gas, waste of your time, and she is being rude to you to boot.[/quote]

It’s more of a punishment to me if she takes the bus as I would have to walk her to the stop which is a bit far and the bus leaves a lot earlier which means I’d have to get up earlier. No thanks.[/quote]

Why would you walk her to the bus stop at 14? She sounds exactly like my 14 yo every morning. I turn on the radio and ignore her. I tell her the other option is to take the bus.  So far, she continues to ride with me and I ignore the crabbiness.  We leave at 7. Her bus would come at 6:30.   I would not walk her to the bus stop if she took the bus instead of my ride.   I truly ignore the nastiness that comes out of her mouth and remember how I was at that age and how I didn’t become a morning person until I was an adult.  [/quote]
