What do I do about my spoiled teenage daughter?
Yes, I posted this yesterday, but I left out some things I thought were important to add. My 17 year old daughter is the absolute definition of a spoiled rotten brat and I have no idea what to do about it. I'm a single parent because her father walked out when she was only a baby, and I had a rough upbringing myself so I've always tried to make sure and give my daughter everything her heart desired because I didn't have that. It's seriously backfired, though. For starters, she will not do ANYTHING I tell her too or anything anyone else tells her too either. When I tell her to clean her room or clean at all, she screams "No!" and after I beg and plead her too, she'll just say something like "I'm not the f*cking maid, you are!" and yes, she loves to cuss. Every other word out of her mouth is a curse word; she especially loves using the f bomb and a couple other swears daily. She also expects everything and when I give them to her, it still isn't enough. For example, she's madly in love with Lady Gaga so I got her front row tickets to one of Gaga's concerts back in April and she was pissed because they weren't VIP like she had wanted. For Christmas this year, my daughter is demanding a Chanel bag that costs roughly around $4,000 and when I told her no because I couldn't afford it, she started cussing at me and calling me a "Broke a** hooker" and then went on whining about how all her friends had Chanels and Gucci's and she was the only one who didn't. She refuses to get a job because she hates taking orders, and because I won't buy her a car because she's irresponsible, she just sneaks out and comes and goes when she pleases. I've tried everything! Grounding her, taking all her possessions away...nothing works. She finds a way to sneak past me and finds all of her things I hide and takes them back. She's also been caught shop lifting with her friends, skipping classes at school and thinks it's all a joke and doesn't care about punishment. Also, she drinks any alcohol she can get her hands on (Whiskey, Tequila, Champagne, Beer) and smokes pot. How do I know this? Last night she came home completely stoned and passed out on the couch. I've also recently found out that she's bisexual and has been having regular sex with her GIRLfriend when I'm not home. I'm at my breaking point. Nothing works anymore
Do I spoil my daughter too much?
I think you spoiled her more then I expected
My teen daughter is a spoiled brat.?
My daughter is a spoiled brat. She's 16 & is convinced she's the center of the universe. I married her mom 20 years ago & adopted her 2 kids. A girl who was then 11 & her son who was 10. We were very happy & we were over joyed when we welcomed Jessica into the world, nothing could be better. However, because of the age difference we showered her with gifts. I suppose i had a sub-consciesce favoritism because she was mine. We are well off & sent her to a Catholic school for $25,000 a year. Since she was born she has never heard the word no. She went to bed when she wanted, went to school when she wanted & everything else. She now goes to private HS for $50,000 a year & she is like a 5 year old. She won't say please, or do what she's told & barks orders at us. She cries if i try to say no & her mom sides with her. My wife is a housewife & i give her an allowance of $5,000 a week. On top of witch, our daughter gets her hair done, nails done, waxed tanned & my wife does this stuff with her. We go to Italy for vacations or any where else we want & it's all just rewarding her for being a witch. I just payed $30,000 on her sweet 16 & bought her a pink Corvette for another 30. The other 2 kids are great & normal people who now have their own families. I don't want there kids to learn from their aunt. I'm older now & i'm just sick of it. At age 68 i don't need this any more. Please help me convince my wife that something needs to be done.
Am I spoiling and babying my teenage daughter too much?
My daughter is 15 and is my only child. I had her when I was very young but I have been very devoted to her. She has Cystic Fibrosis, a disease that causes her to get very sick often, get lots of lung infections and digestive problems, etc...So naturally I've spent a lot of time caring for her and there have been many occasions where she does become very dependent on me. But I'm wondering if I baby her too much. I let her sleep next to me in bed any time she wants and she does because she likes the comfort, she's always done this. I give her back massages every night and now she just takes it for granted that I will always do that. She likes me to read to her before she falls asleep even though she can read her novels herself. I cook all her meals for her and supplement with a feeding tube to give her extra nutrients. I wash her hair and bathe her and dress her when she is sick and doesn't have much strength. I do all of her medical treatments for her as much as possible. She is a beautiful, and smart girl but she is very clingy and attached to me. Am I babying her too much or not? I enjoy doing these things for her and of course will support her as long as she needs me to, and she likes my care, but should I stop doing any of these things? Am I holding her back at all?
Is my daughter spoiled (please answer)?
she is 14 wears shorts that shows her butt she wears shirts that shows her bra (i allow it) and she has a TV, Laptop, Computer, IPhone 4, Horse, Wii, lots of animals, does whatever she wants, i have pay lots of money for her to go see Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Cody Simpson backstage and if she wants something and i say no she calls both of her grandma's and one of them gets it for her and i payed $250 for someone to come and paint Justin Bieber on one wall, Cody Simpson on the other wall, Greyson Chance on the other wall and if i yell at her for doing some thing wrong she rolls her eyes and she was in beauty pageants when she was little and she was a model
Am I spoiling my child?
An old friend of mine came over a few days ago and mentioned to me that she believed I was spoiling my teenage daughter. I was quite shocked by this since I thought I'd never have to worry about that sort of thing, but after giving it some thought, I'm starting to wonder if she may be right. My daughter is 16 years old. She has a medium sized bedroom and has her own laptop (it is roughly 5 years old) which used to be mine but I handed it down to her when I bought a new one. I bought her her first laptop when she was 12 for passing her school entrance exams, it was a pretty standard Dell laptop, nothing flashy or expensive. She has a blackberry mobile phone that she has looked after for 2 years, I only buy her a new phone when she is due for an upgrade and I pay for her contract. She is privately educated. She has her own xbox that I bought her as a christmas/birthday present when she turned 13. She has an iPod classic that she bought using saved up pocket money. She has designer headphones. I give her 45 pounds a month for pocket money, she has to buy her own clothes/makeup/presents/stationary and any extra food with it. About once every 3 months, I will buy her a new item of clothing (not designer) as a gift if she has been good. I pay for her transport. She has her own small fish tank in her bedroom. She has a double bed. She has to do chores or she is grounded eg. unloading dishwasher, setting the table, walking our dog, buying groceries etc. I have another teenage daughter who is at university and living in her own shared house, but I do not believe my friend was talking about her. So what are your opinions? Do you think my daughter is spoiled? If so, what should I cut back on? The last thing I want is a spoiled kid, I can't stand them. My sister was spoiled when she was a kid, and she has grown up to be extremely narcissistic and annoying. What can I do to prevent this happening? As far as I'm concerned, my daughter does not act spoiled, but maybe I am just not seeing it.
