Of course U probably R doing more and more: which suits the rest under the roof. Time to have that talk! Ask DD what she thinks her role is within the family dynamic, how does she expect the house 'to run'?
Does your DD bring friends home? Will she cook with you or even 1 night a week?
U know, I hear about 'teens behaviour' so often
. We weren't allowed to be arsey. (1970s). 1 car which Dad had. Cycled everywhere. Red phone box. We didn't have all the gadgets and connections yet young people try to make out that they are more isolated than ever. So it's time that they got together, put down the gadgets and interacted, face2face. They will then find out that all parents are towing the same line!
Privileges. Taken away will focus a teens mind. If they act like 5 years olds then everything that they value is put into the loft. Laptops, mobiles etc.. They have to earn the items back as well as taking part in household chores etc.. Everything switched off at 6.00 p.m., including parent gadgets, allowed again 8.00 a.m.
Why does your husband need to work 'all hours', what does he put back into for example, child care? Do he and DD have time doing stuff together?
These situations continue until some1 puts foot down with firm hand. Time to let them know that Things Will Be Changing ;-).
