| Well ladies my daughter is no angel let me tell you. I have been through everything even her attitudes, although I am a single parent, it have been very hard but were still hanging in there. My daughter is 16 an well a feew weeks ago I called her to her cell afterschool. It seemed very quiet so I asked are you on the bus, she said yeah but we dropped off some kids so its quiet now. I said are you sure, she said yeah MOM. I told her I would pick her up at the bus stop. she said okay. Well I thought I have to trust her. The next day I got a letter from school for exesessive absenses. I called the school, they then told me that she did not attend school the day before. I said WHAT luckly my daughter was calling me on the other line. I told her that I thought I could trust her but I was wrong. That she was seeing me for someone stupid. I couldnt believe she lied to my face. All that time I trusted her in to riding with her friend to school every morning and afterschool. Well I cried that day. I guess its very difficult cause I take all the pain. I dont trust her anymore. She not allowed anywhere anymore. And I constantly call to school. She is currently in counceling. The teen years are so difficult I am glad I have just one girl, I have an 11 year old son. I just hope I am prepared for him. The way its going I just might be. |

I'd always heard that girls were harder to raise than boys, and my own experience has certainly shown that. My daughter (11 going on 23) can lie to my face with no hint of anything being amiss. I will tell her (a lot), "Leave my things alone." Yet most of the time that I go to get scissors, tape, a thermometer, etc. I have to ask her where it is - because she won't leave things alone! I even got her her own stuff, but she misplaces it and can't find it and uses mine again!
I do NOT look forward to her getting older and having more freedom and responsibility. She's that type that will sneak out if not allowed to go somewhere she wants, and she is so easily influenced that I'm afraid alcohol/drug experimentation is going to be an issue.
My boys (both older than her) have been a pleasure to raise. The biggest problem was that neither did well in school, or cared. Daniel (16) tells on himself when he does something wrong, and Josh (21) used to get such a kick out of pulling wool over someone's eyes that he'd end up giving himself away.
Boys tend to be more active and louder, but girls are manipulative and conniving.
Maybe things will be a little smoother, with your son. |

| THANKS for your reply I sure hope so. But as a parent I will continue to encourage her and support her in every way.I tell her that I wish I had the love and support that she has I would have been the happist teen. But even though my teen years were difficult I made it out of high school. On my own, There has never been a time I gave up on anything. I guess thats made me stronger. I just wish teenagers would understand the value of life and not make the same mistakes we made. |
