Question

How to handle my daughter the 13 yr old drama queen?

Answer 1

i'm 24 and i can remember when i was 13 and everything was such a DRAMA!! it always seems bigger than it actually is and we want to get involved so we have the drama in our lives for attention lol i remember my friends use to cry at school dances because the guy they liked was dancing with someone else ..it's just the age and i promise it'll pass, at least i hope so, for your sake!! I now avoid drama and I am sure she will mature and realize it's not worth all the effort but in the mean time hold your ground. just have good communication so she feels she can come to you but when she is just being too ridiculious then tell her she needs to be more realistic ..my mom was just always there for me, but as a mom ..a friend to but more as a mom and thats what i needed!! you watch these shows where the moms are involved in there daughter personal life and go drinking with them and that's just a mistake!!

Answer 2

Handle with care. Opps sorry I was looking at an unopened package I just got sorry. I guess it has something in it that is fragile.

Answer 3

just make sure you make the rules and stay in charge. it's probably just a phase and she'll grow out of it.  i remember being 13 and i was a pain in the butt, i grew out of it... i hope :)

Answer 4

Ughhh I hate drama queens! And Im 14 so people expect me to behave just like all the other Miley craved brats my age. Please dont become one of those parents who fall in for their kids and spoil them. If she has a phone then take away privileges: one week for every time she slams the door. Sorry I probably come off as a freak but I know how you feel! I hate it when girls my age are drama queens. My mom has never had to yell at me lol shes never had to hit me, but for some reason I just know that Mom wears the pants and shes in charge. It didnt take anything for me to realize that, so I dont know what it will take for your daughter, sorry.

Answer 5

you are the parent so man up and do what you gotta do. duh!  

Answer 6

drama queens are always irritating so when she starts getting dramatic just f**t in her face!

Answer 7

Ignore her drama and talk to her, confront her, ask her how she is feeling.

Answer 8

I agree with the answer from Lipstick...don't try to be her best friend ..she needs a mother to guide her along the way...a lot of this is her age...so you will have to let somethings go , but be very careful that you don't fall into the trap of doing anything just for peace...believe me you will live to regret it if you do....she needs kindness, understanding, patients, but most of all she needs a mother that will set boundaries, give her guidance, and let your yes mean yes and your no mean and by the time she hits her 18th yr she should be almost bearable to live with :)

Answer 9

slap her...
