My 14 year old has a VERY bad attitude, Can I change it?

tiffsmom2007 @tiffsmom2007 (279) • United States 20 Mar 07

Whenever I tell my 14 year old to do something she either gives me this look or flat out refuses to do it. I don't want to spank her, she is 14, and I know that she feels no one loves her enough. But she will not talk to me about...

Blake was Amazing Tonight!

aprilnouf @aprilnouf (16) • United States 20 Mar 07

He is such and incredibly talented guy! Every time he gets on the stage I am so impressed. I don't think American Idol has seen anyone else like him to date. That is not to diminish the talents of the others that have been and are...

aprilnouf You absolutely did the right thing. She will now know that should she choose to behave that way again she will be punished. Don't worry about the not eating dinner, no child ever starved from missing a meal. Between my two daughters there have definitely been...

aprilnouf I think this really depends on what happened that caused the disagreement. Sometimes it's best just to let it go. Sometimes if you were really wrong you should apologize. Honestly for me, if it is a really true friend of mine even if I'm right I will just let...

aprilnouf @aprilnouf (16) • United States 20 Mar 07

Bedtime

aprilnouf @aprilnouf (16) • United States 19 Mar 07

Do you ever feel like as soon as you put your children to bed that is when they remember all the things they forgot that they so Desperately needed to do? The first half hour after I put my two daughters to bed is the worst part...

aprilnouf Thanks. I have been considering it but was worried about the younger waking up earlier than she already does. She just recently started sleeping past 5:30 am. But I think my sanity for the extra 30 mins. of sleep is probably a pretty even trade. Great advice!

aprilnouf I think for most kids once the reach the age of about 4 or 5 they no longer wake up on their own at such an early time. Unfortunately for us all, this is the age that they have to start getting up for elementary school. My 4 year old, up until about a month...

aprilnouf To me a friend is the one who understands when you are too busy to talk and never holds it against you. A friend is someone who regardless of what is going on in their life they come running when you need them. A Friend is the one who knows when it's o.k. to...
