Apart from being gobby, rude and lazy, she can be (but only when she wants to be) extremely thoughtful and helpful - for which she is rewarded - usually with a little something new to wear or a couple of pounds. But then she goes and spoils it by becoming a brat again. If i tell her off she is suddenly 'only joking'. She's been grounded, had her pocket money stopped, and been given lots of jobs to do as punishments etc... I sometimes think that i am overreacting because her dad doesnt notice her attitude half the time and just laughs at it. On the positive side, when she wants to help, she really goes to town and will, for example, blitz the whole house or make dinner for everyone without being asked etc. I've never had any attitude like this from my teenage sons. Is this my punishment for the way i behaved for my mother as a teenager? (For which i am now truly sorry by the way)
