Teenage drama queens........should be outlawed.......
At any rate, we apparently are the cause of the 17 yr old exiling herself once again from this house. She spoiled for a fight Monday, didn't get it, proceeded later on to mouth at me, not talk to me, so when I wouldn't fight, just calmly told her to talk to my face, not around me like I wasn't there, she got all shades of p.o.'d and I finally told her if she wanted to act like a little b****, then fine. And I shut up. She called me a b***** and called her mom to come get her.
Now her dad followed her out the door and told her and her mom a few truths about themselves, and her mom has threatened to beat my ass if I ever talk to her daughter that way again. The child has alienated her grandma, the church secretary, her dad, her sister, etc. Prayer is the only thing we can think of to help. I am, as usual, 100% at fault according to her. Whatever. Her stepdad gets this too, so at least I am not alone. But she sees me as the evil influence. Again, whatever.
It should blow over soon, at least until she feels put upon again. She can;t handle not being the center of attention.
Me, I'd just as soon read.........

Sometimes prayer is no substitute for a a good old fashioned wooden baseball bat.
Just kidding, you did the right thing, Kelsie. Isn't it sad when over grown children who are supposed to be parents get involved in these things.
Elvis, I published your first comment b/c I think you closing sentence says it all......While baseball bats are neat to contemplate...LOL....the true fact is the child's mom, my husband's ex, is not in our eyes the winner of the mom of the year award. Obviously, neither am I, but I can spot mykid's shortcomings and call them on it.
This battle has been a long time brewing. From day one, my husband has been called to get in the middle of things b/w myself and his daughter, and it used to be that he would get hit with the "how dare she talk to my daughter that way?" type of call after every visitation. He finally told her that if said child would mind, there would be no problem.
It has now been two weeks since either of them has spoken one word to us, but I feel the daughter will break silence soon. We love her, but not her behavior, and we finally called her on it.
