My daughter is huffing and puffing around the house the house because i won't buy her a pair of rockports. Never mind the fact i just bought her a bench jacket today and nike trainers last week and all us parents know they are not cheap.
She got 2 younger brothers and i've tried to explain that they need things to but she has just gone into full kevin mode.
Mind you tho its the only peace i've had all day!!!
I'm just wondering why they do this, as i never when i was a kid

I think that the question should be "has anyone's teenager not turned into a Kevin"? It is all part of the hormones balancing and them sorting out who they are. How old is she? Tell her to get a job and buy her own label clothes.

I don't have a teenager to call my own but I do have a cousin who I see a lot. He has recently turned into Kevin..... the plative cries of that's not fair...... I want....... the list goes on and thats before the huffing and puffing and the odd groan/moan/wail noise that issues if things aren't going his way.
I can't admit to being a perfect teenager but I was NOTHING like the way he acts. And I don't know why he does it. If it was up to me I would just lock them in a cupboard until they were 18 and send them off out into the world.
You have my deepest sympathy.....just remember.... she will grow out of it just in time for the other 2 to grow into it!

CJ, I can promise you you did.
I'm 25 now and didn't believe I was a bad kid, ( I thought I was pretty nice) but there are a couple of home videos of me acting atrociously at about 14 years old. It happens, they'll get out of it.
If he really wants the rockports, tell him to get a job to pay for them. And make sure you educate him on debt, because the schools wont. Lifes most important lesson!! Most people (including me) learn it the hard way.

Oh! I completely trust you! i do no longer recognize what the hell has gotten into him. I under no circumstances predicted him to act like such an a**! he's quite mistreating Karen! i think sooooo sorry for her. With Neil and Tyra working mutually to get Anna back to Tyra; Karen does no longer have a great gamble to get custody of Anna. She might desire to break up and depart Neil because of the fact she would be in a position to stay harm in this concern. Neil is a actual freakin' JERK!

i have a twenty year old who i kicked out 3 weeks ago because no one in the house could stand his attitude anymore i also have 2 young sons 15 and 11 both doing really well in school and whenever we got them something the 20 yr old turned into a full blown screaming kevin always moaning and shouting about what he never got ( even though he owes me just under a grand and my partner about 1500 plus) he used to come in late all the time wrecked out of his mind and shouting about how we all pee him off by asking him to respect our house and come in at a decent time i actually got into a drunken punch up with him ( he was drunk not me) and that was the end of it a packed his $£%" and slung him out now our house is peaceful and calm again and he has popped round a few times and its nice to see him but teenagers problems are there problems once they hit a certain age sling them out into the world and let them sort their own lives out. either that or campaign for conscription and maybe all our kids will receive a disciplined future of decency instead of the dead generation we have at the moment who are literally getting away with murder.

kids are irrational. Get her to work for the money to buy all these things "she just must have". Kids must learn the value of hard work otherwise she'll still be huffing and puffing in your house at 30.

Tell her to get a job. I got a paper round at 13 and a part time job as soon as I was legally able to at 16. It is a good idea to make her understand that material items have to be earned. Don't give in to Kevin!

first of all.... rockports? sounds like gangster shoes to me... Nike trainers? try getting your daughter to wear more girlie things... that sounds like shes getting into the wrong crowd.... unless shes gay... then that's OK... also if shes huffing and puffing take away what ever you just bought her and give her something to huff and puff about... and let her know shes being very ungrateful

Be nice, but firm when it comes out of your pocket. Teach her the value of the dollar, make her honestly work for what she wants, and award it to her. Such things as cleaning the bathroom, vaccuming the living room, prewashing dishes before they go in the dishwasher, and basically giving her a chance to say, "I earned it". It will not only last longer because she earned it, she'll know that if she wants something pricey, she may have to earn it.

Yes of course! It's part of being a teenager with all those hormones racing around. I have a son who is the same at the moment. It's probably no comfort, but they will grow out of it. Are you sure you were not difficult when you were a kid? I am pretty sure I was, lol. All the best to you.
