[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 318027, member: 1991"] Time to go back into counselling. If she says, "I don't need it," then tell her that YOU need her there so she can work out why she hit you, explain so YOU understand and make sure it will never happen agian, not to you, not to anybody. The "I don't know" responses are typical teen not answering tyhe question. She may not know, but she's also not trying to think about the answer, either. You went shopping to buy something she needed. She should have been cooperative and appreciative. There has to be a reason for tis attitude and frankly, I would have sat in the car, in the car park (her tears or no) and waited until I got some sort of answer and acknowledgement that she knew she had behaved badly. "I told you I didn't want to go" - does this mean she was prepared to go to this school event without the trousers she needed? I think you did exactly the right things with the pancakes and the jeans. It's logical. If she wants her jeans washed as a priority, then SHE knows where the washing machine is, doesn't she? And while she's putting her jeans in, she can make it a full lod and add in other stuff that can go in with them. Even if it's only her stuff, that's OK because it's stuff YOU don't have to do. Next time she says, "you never do anything for me," make a detailed list of all you have done, beginning fomr Day 1. Or if that is too much then make a list of everything you have done for her, this week. Or just this day. And ask her to match you, item for item. And "not arguing with Mum" does NOT qualify! Hang in there. Teenage years are rough. Marg [/QUOTE]
