Goodmorning!!!!! I need some advice

[diamond74]

Good-morning all my beautiful ladies. I hope all is well with you. I'm trying to kick start my butt in gear, but the new medication they gave me for my heart makes me so tired. The medication is supposed to take the work load off my heart, but it also has kind of a calming effect on me. I don't get drowsy like I cant stay awake. But it almost relaxes me. I feel good actually. LOL. Like I'm so relaxed that I wanna sleep.  

Cynthia is really trying my patience lately. She is so oppositional. No matter what I say she has an attitude. She's 14 and going through her bitchy teenage stage. But the way she talk's to me is driving me crazy. She's constantly telling me to shut up. She says whatever, leave me alone, what the hell, if I ask her to do something she yells at me to wait. I don't know what to do anymore. I know kids go through stages, but I don't want to use that as an excuse for her to be disrespectful. There are plenty of teenage kids out there that don't disrespect their parents. I really could use some advice. I'm at my wits end.           

Thanx ladies.

I smell a week or ten locked in her room with no amenities. Seriously though maybe it's not a stage. There could be something going on, school, siblings,her friends, a boy, your health . I know when my mom started getting more obviously sick, I went into a serious BITCH mode. Maybe she just needs to have a good listen to! Of course that is often easier said than done with teens. In the mean time I offer a shoulder and a hug to you.
