My elder daughter is not quite a teenager but behaves in the manner described. So far this week I have taken her to and paid for horse riding lessons with one of Scotland's top trainers at the stables where she keeps her horse on full livery; ensured she gets to her guitar and oboe lessons; taken her to dance classes; made sure she gets to and from Ice Skating; paid for her to get her hair styled and dyed; arranged with her friend's mum that she will get to a sleep-over tomorrow; ironed her school clothes, cleaned her boots, bought new sports kit after she lost the last one (she then found it again!); and probably a thousand and one other things....

...but apparently I am a "freak" for telling her to let the dog out tonight after I had sat down with a glass of wine. And she does soooooo much. And has now become ill as she has to do so much....:smile::laugh::biggrin::laugh::ohmy:

Like, whatever :eek:

Suggest that she is too ill to go to the sleepover -- I bet she recovers from the illness

I've often considered this - with the upstairs telly anyway - but have never quite had the courage!

Dont worry! Its fine as long as its unplugged!:laugh: I once put a suitcase on the bed of my 14 year old and told her to pack. Really drew it out as well, like "make sure you take a very warm coat cos its cold sleeping outside", that sort of thing. Even handed her 20 quid to start her new "life" with :sad: As she packed, she must have realized she was being a cow, and it ended in hugs :sad:
We still have our moments, though!

I cleared my 12 yr olds drawers out over the christmas holidays and told him in no uncertain terms they would be inspected weekly (not pryed in just opened) and if they weren't tidy he'd be doing his own ironing. It may be short lived but to date they are good so much so I;m going to top up his phone this weekend for him.;)
