Teenagers and Kids: Teenagers these days

Teenagers these days

By prostitott - 04/05/2013 07:22

Today, I caught my 14-year-old daughter stealing alcohol from me. After berating her for half-an-hour I finally said, "At least you're not doing drugs." She gave me a guilty smile and sheepishly said, "At least I'm not a prostitute?" FML

Today, I was telling my teenage daughter about the effects from alcohol, and how she should not give in to peer pressure. While talking, I noticed that she was looking at me funny. There was a wine glass in my hand. FML

Today, I got a call informing me that my 16-year-old daughter had been arrested for shoplifting jewellery. Trying to look on the bright side, I assumed it was for my birthday that is coming up in a few days. Nope. It was a "Thank you" gift. For her drug dealer. FML

Mindblowing

Today, I confronted my daughter about the various drug-associated items I found in her room. She then confronted me about going in her room and invading her privacy, to the point where I forgot the main issue and apologised to her. I just got outsmarted by a teenage pothead. FML

Today, a woman and her daughter came into the store I work at. The girl placed a pair of underpants on the counter, and confessed she had stolen them earlier. Assuming she had already heard a lecture, I simply thanked her for bringing them back. Her mom yelled at me for not yelling at her. FML

Today, I took away my 8-year-old daughter's toy for throwing it too many times. She then said, "I need a beer." FML

Today, my mom told me she's a drug addict, sold my bed to buy meth, and then lectured me about how I should be okay with it. FML

Today, I got home from my tour of duty. The first thing my teen daughter said to me was could she have some money, because mom won’t give her anymore since she got caught using her allowance to buy weed. Not even a "Hello" or tears of joy to see me, just a demand for drug money. FML

I'll make my own way

Today, my daughter is too crafty for her own good: she found out I was planning on driving her to her first date to meet a boy, so she let the air out of my car tyres, removed my bike chain, and even stole my bus pass. I taught her well. Well played daughter, well played. FML

She's not wrong

Today, I reprimanded my daughter for eating too many chips, since it's not good for you. She responded with, "Know what else isn't good for you? Two cigarettes a day." I couldn't even come up with a retort. I can't believe I just got burned by a ten-year-old. FML

Where does it say she beat her? Berate means 'yell at'.

166- i agree. I grew up with all of those things instilled in me that people are saying is the key to a good kid. I made my own choices to NOT be like my parents. I wanted to make my own mistakes. True parents are to blame for most of the little ***** running around, but aometimes it is the child's choice. Tell them they can't because you say so or the law says so and they will. Tell them to go for it and they will then too. The best option is obvious a stern hand, but why use a hand? A.belt is mich easier. OP should not jump in. And yell and scream, just tell her what the downsides and dangers are and hope she is bright enough. To learn.

I started drinking when I was 14 but it wasn't because my parents did a horrible job parenting. It was more the fact that the culture here is so pro alcohol that it makes it very accessible through friends, through parents of friends and siblings of friends. I remember When I was 14 and away at New Years at my friends batch being given a box of KGBs by my friends parents. I look back as a pretty successful 23 year old now and I'm disgusted at how much I drank when I was a child, and feel that somehow when I'm a parent I have to do things differently.
