I hate my teenager. Of course I love her because she is my kid, but I hate her behavior and cannot wait for her to grow out of this phase. She sees me as a bank, chaffeur, short-order cook, maid. She thinks its cool to be "bad"; smoking, casual sex, rude behavior for no reason. Her friends use her and she chooses not to see it. She gives them money for food and transportation even though they have homes and parents who can provide this. She sees herself as mature and that she can handle herself. She'll spend a wad of money on who knows what and doesn't think ahead that she'll need some of that money to get home safely by bus. If I won't run out and pick her and her friends up when she has mismanaged her funds and doesn't have bus money, then she considers me a terrible parent. She treats me like dirt and then expects me to be there for her when something has gone wrong. I know I've raised a spoiled, disrecpectful brat. Mar 3 5:52 AM MST
