FAMILY ARGGG

Me & hubby moved to FL while he's in A-School & my dad & sister came down last tuesday for vacation. They are staying from the 3rd-17th. I was SO EXCITED to see them. But my sister was not excited to come down she's a teenager and only cares about herself! Anyways it's a horrible time. She is so rude to my dad & he just takes it. The tension causes me to be rude back to her because I jsut can't stand it. Hubby is getting so annoyed with me & her & I try to stop & have a good time but I can't when all she does is whine whine whine. She got mad beacuse my dad took me shopping [because back home she gets whatever she wants] and at the mall she got a shirt & shorts. i picked out a shirt & a tank & dad told her she was done for the day but i could keep shopping because I never get to with him anymore. She threw a fit & we had to leave. Rediculous. I can't wait until she leaves.. why did she come if she is so ungrateful & just wants to whine about going back home... UGHHH lol

She needs to be thankful for what she gets. The life of sisters.

I agree!

She is also a teen.

It will prolly take her growing up to hopefully see beyond all of this and quit being such a pain in the a$$.

I'm sorry your visit with your family is so stressful. Teenage girls are moody and annoying. I have 2. They are as different as night and day. My 18 year old has always been happy with what she has and appreciated whatever she is given. My 20 year old has always wanted more. Expects the world to be handed to her on a silver platter. They grew up in the same house. I taught them the same values but they have totally different personalities. Just remember, she's just a kid and the more you argue with her, the worse it's going to be for everyone. Just take a deep breath and try your best to ignore her when she is throwing her tantrums. Pull her aside and speak to her as an adult when you are both calm and explain to her that this is your house, that she and your father came down to visit you to have a nice visit, ask her to please do her best to enjoy the time you have together. Tell her that you love her. Tell her that you don't want to fight during the entire time they are there.

I've raised 2 teenage girls. I've had a lot of experience with them and several of their friends. And on top of it, my eldest is a special needs child. Trust me, if you treat her like an adult and speak to her calmly and rationally, you just might get what you want.

i am sorry that thier visit was not a fun one. she needs to be thankful that she got wat she got.

Im sorry she made the visit so bad! But im glad you got to see your dad! :D
