[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 162150, member: 179"] Not much you can change right now. She's a TEEN. My experience (albiet small) is they don't really realize real life until they ARE in real life as an adult. That may happen at 20...or 40. They'll gripe and moan about the smallest of things. My two step-children (I hate to use that term as I have been with them as young as 4 years old) are finally coming around to see that I actually CARE for them in more than a physical means of providing a place to live. I'm sure there have been MANY times that I was considered the step-mom from hades. easy child has recently calling me mom, which has more meaning to me than you can imagine. J has started to recognize that the things we do as parents are to make you a self-sufficient better person. (slow process) I know that I loathed my father for years. It wasn't until I grew up a bit and had my own kids that I kind of understood where he was coming from. Just my 2 cents. Abbey [/QUOTE]
