and lost my appetite. Tayler is mad at us because she doesn’t think she should be in any trouble after all that has happened. We are not so mad about what she did at her mom’s because her mom is partly responsible. I am disappointed that she went to a friend’s house knowing no parents would be home and knowing that it is against our rules. Mike told her she can’t go to her friend’s house yesterday because her parents weren’t home and she is angry. She thinks that we have no reason to doubt her. I am sorry, but that is hard right now. She blatantly disrespected our rules about parents being home. She drank excessively and doesn’t even remember what happened. She chose to tell us only after we found out from someone else. That isn’t trustworthy behavior.
Well, she was mad so she talked shit about me outside. She apparently didn’t know that my window was open and I heard everything she said. Well, she apparently doesn’t care either because she seems to think it is okay to trash talk someone if you are mad. Have I received an apology? Does she give a crap that she hurt my feelings… yet again? No to both. She forgets that I am the one that has stood up for her, helped to make sure she could do the things she wants, got her grounding suspended so she could go to a party, and basically just was her advocate. All that means nothing though if she is mad I guess. I just don’t get how you can hurt someone and not care.
Mike talked to her tonight about her attitude which truly has sucked lately. She has been mouthing off, rolling her eyes, talking smack, and getting angry about things and moping around. She basically doesn’t care though. She wants to do what she wants, when she wants. I get she is a teenager, but she could have died at her hands. We, as parents, have to protect our kids. She needs to get that at some point. I wish she just understood that we love her and want what is best for her. I wish she understood how much she hurts me when she says things like she did… I love her like my own. She shouldn’t treat people the way she has.
So, yeah. I was going to eat, but have lost my appetite once again. I think I will just go to bed.
