Anybody else have a 13 yr old ruler of the world?help me?

Question

she angered by the tinyest mention of anyting.help me

Answer 1

apply a ruler to her backside.

Answer 2

well, I'm not the parent of a 13 year-old but when I was 13 I had this issue. trust me yelling and getting angry back does not work!!! That was my mom's strategy and it just made me more pissed off. My dad, on the other hand, had a far better idea. When I was annoyed he'd leave me alone to cool off. Once I did he just asked what was up. Or if I was just being blatantly rude he'd call me out on it and would nicely tell me to chill out. try understanding her side and as hard as it is- don't get angry!

Answer 3

Ride the wave, that is pretty much all you can do.   I have a 14 year old.   OMG she drives me absolutely NUTS 99% of the time, she's mean to the younger kids, when she is not home, it's peaceful, she walks in the door and all the drama starts.  I hope she will mature in time, she has gotten a little better, but she is still a pain.    I think at this age they lose IQ points..   I actualy sometimes resent my step daughter for the way she acts..   But what can I do.  taking things away, helps for a bit..  But really..  I don't know.  I wish I knew the secret..   If you find it let me know. :)

Answer 4

I have an 11 yr. old housemaster of a son, that rules his younger sisters with an iron fist, isn't very reliable at times, and is downright dishonest and sneaky other times.  It's not always that way, but I think a lot of it is very minor, mild, and will go away later on.  It's just growing pain.  I know everything will be fine.  13 years old was the hardest year of my life.  I didn't like Momma, and she wasn't too fond of me, either.  You have to decide to be the strict Mom, or let it go on without becoming upset.  You have no third option.

Answer 5

Duh, it's called puberty...didn't YOU go through it?

Answer 6

At 13 years old...she is testing you to see how much control she has or can get over you...you need to put your foot down, she may get mad, but I am sure she will get over it!

Answer 7

well i would say ground her. You are the mother you take control of your daughter. everytime she does something that is not right smack her upside the head. i know it sounds wrong but she's 13 years old and she obviously believes that she can get and/or do whatever the h**l she wants. don't let her believe this anymore. you have to take action. and if you are totally and completely against hitting her take away different things from her (i.e. cellphone, house phone, computer, tv, game system if any, trips to the mall, movies, time with friends, etc.) that is the only way you can deal with this. she needs to learn that your word is law and she has to obey.
