Does anyone keep their word anymore - Part 2
Well evidently I am just a nerd who expects too much! My daughter had no clue that the money I gave her today for Six Flags - money out of the clear blue sky - had no connection to the promise she made me of helping me at work. She thought I was just feeling like being nice. Now I have my moments where I like to be nice, but let's keep in mind that her bathroom is horrible - I asked her last week to clean it up, the kitchen has not been cleaned up. Her definiton of clean is loading the dishwasher. There is no wiping down the counters or sweeping the floor. In addition to the fact that we have the whole "Yea I will go to work with you and decorate your door for Halloween." I just feel like I am getting the short end of the stick right now! Again this is NOT a pity party - it is a venting session. I am beginning to think I am just way out of touch with being a teenager!

i think the problem is that the teens that she is around are being raised as friends and not as much in a parent/child relationship. sure, when they are teens, parts of the relationship and it gets a little more fun. but other areas must be harder and they just don't get why you want to raise them like they have some upbringin' and responsibility when others don't have to.
