7 Behaviors of Teenage Girls I’m Not Going to Get Upset About Anymore
Or at least really, really try.
I know I’d be happier if I didn’t let these things get to me. If I stopped taking them personally.
They aggravate me, worry me, and honestly make me feel like a failure as a parent.
Even after reading numerous articles and books to find out what to expect and, more importantly, how to react, there are inexplicable teenage behaviors I still find extremely hard to put up with.
But I’m also tired of feeling upset, offended, and deflated.
So I’ve decided that these are 7 behaviors of teenage girls that I refuse to get upset about anymore:
1) Not putting laundry away
I don’t know what it is that prevents a teenage girl from putting away her clothes. Especially after I’ve washed and folded the clothes and sometimes even placed the basket in her bedroom. I have literally done 90% of the job, just finish it, for crying out loud.
I know what you’re thinking: Stop doing their laundry. You’re right. But I can’t stand the clutter. And with the early mornings, evening sports, extracurriculars, and the weekend job, they’re barely home enough (when awake) to get it done. So I don’t mind helping.
