Seriously teen attitude should not be and is not wanted or needed please do not apply~last few days have been pretty good and today wasnt bad just my 13 soon to be 14 yr old daughter was having some of that teen attitude today-tonight we had a little bit of a tiff and some exchanged words~Seriously again with the stinking teen attitude grrr! Really I realize this has and always will be an issue with parents as time goes on but really I feel bad for giving my parents such a bad time when this happens. My daughter really is a good kid/young adult but geesh so tired of those arguements that really stem from nothing other than the teen hormones~I am getting ready to go thru some prep tomorrow for a surgical procedure Friday that the prep especially is going to be hard on my body so really I dont need this right now!
Thats too bad that they werent or you didnt think they were interested in you and that if what you say about never being good enough for them its really not nice when parents really arent interested in their kids and they expect way too much sometimes---my daughter is a good girl and I way care what she does and what goes on and she will always be loved no matter what-however theres always hormones, society, pressures, and just general things that go on in life and can be difficult to deal with especially when you are a teen and things are hard and confusing as it is---I didnt forget what it was like to be a teen and there are some things that I have as the same parenting skills as my parents but there are definitely some things I do different---unfortunately my daughter has had to deal with alot in her short life that no child should have to deal with like a father who is mentally/emotionally abusive he isnt in the pic no more and is best with how he is but that can be hard as well as dealing with the death of my brother her uncle like two years ago and how he died-its just something that has always been around and always will be is that teen attitude and hormones-I do know we dont have it as bad as some teens do and we work at things and try to work out issues in a positive way but theres always those moments----~:)

I remember being so annoyed with my parents all the time. They were never interested in what was going on and what I did was never good enough for them. I like to think my own children will never be like that ;)
Perhaps your upcoming surgery is stemming the attitude? She could be upset or nervous about mama having surgery and don't know what to do about it and frustration comes out.
Sit her down and explain it will no longer be tolerated. The minute she starts ask her to go to her room and come back when she can speak to you respectfully. After awhile she will catch on. Just because many say its normal teen behavior doesn't mean we have to accept it.

This happened to me. I had a major surgery a couple of years ago. My then 15 yr old son was a PITA for weeks leading up to the surgery! It came out of nowhere! Suddenly, I was his worse enemy. He acted as if he hated me. The day of the surgery, he insisted on being at the hospital. He would not leave. When I came home, he was my #1 caregiver. We finally figured out, he was just plain scared.
I had thot of that as well and a part of it might be but it isnt like we havent dealt in the past with attitude and it definitely hasnt been because of any surgery-my surgery isnt a major one but yet at same time is and all surgeries anything can happen-Im sure she is worried but I do know we have faced attitude at other times-thanks for your input~:)
