Its an interesting dance that mothers and daughters do, being very close and wanting to be just like mommy when they are little, then wanting to be as unlike mom as they can in the teens, then finding out mom isn't so dumb after all when they get married, and then finding out that no one loves their children like their own mom when they have their babies.
Moms are so powerful to their children that daughters must fight extra hard to differentiate themselves from that figure in order to go out on their own.
A good mother daughter relationship weathers all storms, and in the end is the strongest bond of all.

Girls and moms fight because usually they're very similar people. Moms want the best for their daughters but think that by being exactly like how they were at that age it's doing good for them. the moms want to pick out the clothes and the hairstyle and the car and the boyfriend. The daughter a lot of times get smothered with all the emotions and hormones flying around. Me and my mom clashed big time and once I moved out we were fine. It's just hard being in control and respecting each other as well. Men are much more easy going so don't usually run into the same problems. Besides men aren't as judged as women are so moms have to be extra careful in what their daughters do

it is hormones. There moms have been there and done that. girls love to tell their moms that they just don't understand....but we do, the game is still the same. all the things that girls go through, their moms have been through the same thing. It is just that their moms are trying to protect them the best they can, but teen girls don't want to hear it. Males naturally are allowed more freedom than girls, and this is because boys can't get pregnant. naturally moms want their daughters to respect themselves and most of all their bodies. But this is something that the girls will not understand until they have a daughter of their own. Like I said b4....the game is still the same, the only thing that changes are the years that pass by and that is it. We have already lived it, and believe me....there is no difference from the time my mother was a teen and when I was a teen....the issues are still the same.

Because they are spoiled brats and mom played the friend for so long and now when mom says no or trys to set a rule lil princess flips out because she isnt getting her way. This is 2007 and kids think you are cruel and CPS should be called if they dont have a cell or all cable channels or if you dont let them stay out late etc. Its the new generation of disrespectble brats who think they deserve stuff without work or merit and its sometimes the moms and dads fault the teen was a child, you were suppose to teach them and discipline them when they are little not try when they are big! plus there are so many single parents out there now they try to hard to make it up to the kids because you feel guilty they dont have two parents and instead you are now the fool being walked all over and disrespected by a teen when you should have been raising her the way the parents in my generation raised us, they werent scared of there kids or trying to be friends with us.

It's just "one of those things" in that it's a natural phase to go through. Teenagers are, by definition, "monsters", and mom is an easy target. I'm not exactly sure why it's mom more than dad or equally divided against both parents -- but moms and daughters definitely go through a separation period that lasts pretty much throughout the teen years.

I'm 16 & I can hardly stand to be around my mother for 15 minutes. I'm way closer to my Dad because I am Daddy's little girl. I was completely opposite when I was a baby I couldn't be away from my mother for 15 seconds & couldn't stand to be around my dad. It's funny how things make a 360 degree change.

Generaly the boys are closer to their moms. You are not a dummy, it's all about youth. When they are younger, they are closer, but when they enter the junior high age, they grow closer to the dad. Nothing you have done, this is just the way it is, They have learned all they can about the mom and now it's time to learn about their dad. :0)

No you're not a dummy. I'm a teenage girl. Girls just like hanging out with their own kind. (By "own kind" I mean hanging out with other females.) And teenage girls can talk to their moms about more stuff than their dads. It's just more comfortabler for us girls. Trust me, if you were a girl, you would understand!

First off they are realizing that they are becoming an adult which means they are trying to break away from the next a little bit. While their parents usually dont want to face the fact that they are growing up. This makes the parents and children have problems.
