This. But you all don't want to hear it.

You can’t spank a 13 year old, that is ridiculous

It doesn’t hurt or scare them. She’s not two anymore.

And also healthy eating. She does better when well fed.

I have the same issue, but I will say that a few things can make it better — at least for my kid.

More sleep, and then even more sleep. Tons of kids are way overscheduled and staying up too late. I try to get my kid to bed as early as possible (which sometimes is 10pm, but I am for 8:45). I also try to protect her sleep on the weekends and let her sleep in as long as her body will let her.

Time doing non-screen things. So if she shows and interest in an art project, etc, I’m all over that.

Showing a ton of interest in all the things she is interested in. So, while I might not care about the latest Sephora thing, I try to act like I find it interesting.

I'm sorry, OP, and especially sorry that you're the only one dealing with it on the home front. My spouse is out for a lot of bedtimes, and I get very worn down.

I have some thoughts and suggestions, none of which has to do with anything you're doing "wrong." But let us know if that's what you want or if you just needed people to say, "This is a terrible age!" I taught 7th grade for many years, and wow, sometimes, I can't believe I survived the attitude. (I guess I didn't--I stepped away from teaching!)

Me too
- how do we get through this as parents??
It’s not just that i am the supposed cause of every problem in the world, but my child genuinely seems angry annd unhappy all day and night. She won’t talk to me or her dad and says eberthing is “fine” at school. Terribly rude to parents and sister at home , borderline bullying

My daughter turned 13 this month and she is the same...been going on for the last 7 months... EVERYTHING is a battle or negotiation...

I notice people ask this often. I think it’s rude. The other parent could be anywhere, left, dead, etc.

Where is this child’s other parent?

Hang on OP - she will appreciate you more as she ages believe me.

This behavior did not happen overnight; are you are overly permissive parent? If you don't hold your ground and have her respect your boundaries, when she hits 16, you will have a larger problem on your hands...

One good spanking will solve it. Do it now so that she is not out of control in later years.

It’s a tough age for sure- I also have an 11 year old DD and she seems to blame me for everything. I try to give grace during her not nice moments, but I know it’s really hard. Hang in there- you are not alone!

My 11 year old daughter constantly has a bad attitude. She doesn’t say please or thank you, constantly rolls her eyes, ignores when I’m speaking to her or ask her to do something. She couldn’t be bothered to even wish me a Happy Mother’s Day when the day before we had to go to my grandmother’s funeral, who can she was upset about having to travel to.

I’m exhausted. That’s all just venting. I have no spouse to help with this, so I posting it here.
