A mum says she is counting down the days until her 'rude' teenage daughter moves out. The parent revealed that her child regularly criticises her meals and appearance, reports Hull Live.
She took to social media to share her experience with her 'spoiled' daughter who ruins family occasions with her bad behaviour. Posting on a popular parenting site, the mother says she is fed up of the 17-year-old and is concerned that she will never change.
She said: "She's spoiled, rude and downright unkind to me. She can ruin any occasion with her behaviour and just doesn’t seem to care about me or the rest of her family.
"I just dislike her so much and am so concerned that this is who she is and will never change. Her personality is just awful.
"She insults my appearance asking why I don’t dye my hair, why I wasn’t wearing makeup, criticising my clothes."
The mum confessed that she is now desperately waiting until her daughter can go to university so she can get rid of her. She added: "I can see how this sounds and if I was reading it I would think what an awful thing for a parent to write."
The mum then asked the forum: "Friends tell me it’s because she’s a teenager but does this mean all teenagers are cruel?" Many people were quick to share their thoughts on the topic and the mother's unruly teen.
Many people believed that tough love was the answer. One person: "She sounds like she's been spoiled, to be honest.
"This is broadly the behaviour of someone who knows they can get away with the behaviour she is with little to no consequences. I'm not saying you're a bad parent or anything like it, but you've described a spoilt brat who needs clamping down on."
Another added: "Kick her out! When she's being rude, belittling and manhandling you, get angry and tell her to get out!
"There are clearly no boundaries and she thinks she can do and say what she likes with the attitude, 'What are you going to do about it?' You need to stand up for yourself."
Meanwhile another user believed that nothing the mother can do will change the teenager. They said: "There are not very nice people all over the world, they are born that way, they never change, it seems like she’s just rotten to the core.
"I, unfortunately, have a teenager the same. She was like it at age five.
"It’s not because she’s a teenager. No amount of punishment, discussion, withdrawal of stuff and activities etc has made any difference. It just feeds their victim complex."
However, other users questioned if there was more to the situation: One person stated: "I wonder if there are some problems with her self-esteem.
"Is she involved with drugs? Is she on any hormone contraception?
"Is she self-harming? What are her friends like? How long has she been like this for?"
Meanwhile, others were concerned that the mum may also not be as open as they should be with their daughter: One person said: "Is there a lack of connection?
"This may be why you've become cash machines. Talk to your daughter, show you care in ways that don't involve stuff, take her to the countryside and talk properly.
"Be vulnerable, show you're human too. It sounds like she's immature and struggling with the stage between childhood and adulthood.
"Maybe try treating her more like an adult and taking a step back so she has more responsibilities such as she needs a job, pay rent, cook her own meals do her own washing etc."
