my daughter and me seem to fight very often. she does not like the limits set for her. she is 18.?

Answer 1

u might need to limit her as mother, but do not limit that much which inspire her to overcome your limits and goes in wrong dierction

Answer 2

I think it's an age thing, really. Don't take it personally. I learned this neat tip from a friend years ago - think of any given situation in which you'd confront her, and say, "Five years from now, would this still be important to bring to her attention?" Example, tracking mud in the house verses something more serious like taking unsafe diet pills.... Try to let some of the little stuff slide a bit, and DO tell her when you like what she's doing, no matter what that is. If all she hears is negative, it's just bad. Tell her you like her new haircut or outfit she bought, instead of pounding her for how much money she wasted on it. That is all a matter of opinion and she'll mature in ways like that eventually. If she is working, and being responsible about it (showing up on time, dressed properly, etc.) tell her how you appreciate that and that you are proud of her. Good luck, I've been on both sides of the fence. I have a neice who is treated like a little kid and she's 19 and much more responsible than her mother was at that age....I tell her that all the time, without bad-mouthing her mom. Good luck, and be patient. It will pay off.

Answer 3

She is 18, by this age parents should start behaving as advisors rather than controllers, seems you have been the latter all her life, and hence turned your daughter into a rebel, it is high time you start respecting her boundaries, you dont want to have resentful relationship with her for the rest of her life, do you?

Answer 4

Understand, fighitin wit ur daughter wil land u up in nowhere...... Plz.... stop fightin & start livin 2day. Tel her how much u luv her & xplain her u can't jus bear wen she goes wrong.... Spend enough time her & try 2 understand her. Help her 2 get out of her problems & b more like a frnd.....

Answer 5

well my mother and i fight all the time so i can probably help you see this from her point of view. see instead of DEMANDING that she do or don't do something, try telling her WHY you set the limits you do.And be reasonable about the limits. after all, you may still see her as your baby, but in reality she is not.

Answer 6

well if she is 18 then she should be making her own choices in life now the best you could do is just try and guide her in the right direction and give advice.

Answer 7

Quite normal.

Answer 8

she eighteen she old enough to make her own choices all you can do now is give wise advice.
