Very Angry with sd13

The big G's picture

}:) Sd13 is just completely void of any bloody common sense, respect, manners or anything slightly remotely good intentioned.

She wanted money to go into town today with her friend, Fdh gave her some instead of thank you he got "is that all" If she was mine that money would have been back into my purse faster than a speeding bullet.

Then this is the bit i am really angry about bd2 fell asleep on the floor she's had a bit of a cold and been a little niggely all day, so instead of moving her and chancing that she might wake i left her be and covered her over.

Sd13 comes back from town Fdh says becareful bd2 is asleep on the floor try and keep the noise down, bought herself a new top and stands on the chair to look into the mirror something Fdh and i (when i tried) asked her not to do then she jumps back down and landed on bd2 head :jawdrop: .

Bd2 screamed her head off poor little mite but she's ok.

Well i hit the roof, asked her what the hell she thought she was doing, didnt get a sorry nothing she just stormed off up stairs to strop, didnt even wait to see if bd2 was ok,
Fdh just says well we cant afford for you to jump on her head.

I know it was an accident but god an appology or something would have been nice.

So now i am well annoyed but on a plus note Shes gone over to her mums for crotch dropping worshiping day(sorry stolen from another blog cant remember who's) so i have peace for 1 night bliss.

Ohhhh on an imature note when sd left i went woop woop which apparently was a bit loud, but it felt soooo good Smile

thanks for reading

Yep this is my ss at 13 as well. Of course he's always been like that-he could run you over with a car and would then be completely irate if anyone dared to suggest that he might want to show some concern. He would be far more concerned with screaming, "It wasnt my fault" then he would over any potential victim.

Back when he was younger and I still thought there maybe some hope for him I always used to talk to him about how it is always polite if you accidentally hurt someone to always apologize and make sure they are ok. He always thought that was crazy.

13 is a difficult age, whether they are a SD or not. I understand and agree with what you have said about the money (it would have gone back in my wallet), the standing on the chair, and wanting an apology. She is 13 and most likely you won't get one without getting eye to eye in her face and say - You need to apologize.

One of my sd has simliar Diva traits you are describing and was ALWAYS saying "I'm sorry" - whereby it became a broken record, meaningless verbiage spewing out of her mouth quickly as an easy fix to bypass the situation without consequences. Watch out for that little trick too!

DH and I decided when any child needed to say they were sorry, they specifically finish the statement with WHAT EXACTLY they were sorry for. Ex: I'm sorry I was standing on the chair after you told me not to and I'm sorry I stomped on my sister's head.

If you don't ask for an apology and give an example or two of what you expect then you aren't going to get it.

If they don't do it - then give them something to think about - like take away the i-pod, cell phone, night life and new clothes! She is 13, you are the parent - teach her and show her the same respect you want (no more whoop, whoop, even know you feel it deep in your heart - I can relate)

What we do here, is 1) apologize in a complete sentence and 2) get an "apology accepted" in response.

Saying, "it's ok", or something similar, when someone apologizes makes the behavior acceptable and it is not. Saying "apology accepted" means that you and they are accepting their responsibility for their actions. Then all can be well and good or punishment given....
