It's been a year and a half since my son and I decided to share a home. He being newly divorced and I just loosing my job, we decided to split the rent on a nice house to help each other out. Now he has an affordable place to have his kids to on his days with the kids and I dont have to be alone. We have a pretty good set up, my 11 yr old grandson is terrific, easy to get along with, but my 13 yr old grand-daughter is difficult. I get what she is going thru, age, divorce, etc... but she cannot stand me. She doesnt speak to me, I dont speak to her for fear of her blowing up. If you look at her she has a meltdown
She has to be the center of attention and sees me as a inconvenience to deal with. I would give anything to be able to have some fun with her but she makes me feel like I dont belong here. In front of her father she will serve dessert to her dad, brother and herself and leave me out, and if her dad calls her on it, she has a meltdown and leaves the room w/o eating her dessert. How do you deal with a disrespectful, moody, temper mental teenage grandchild? Would appreciate some suggestions...
Is there such a thing as delicious ready meals?
