Haley (who is 11) has become extemely argumentative... lots of talking back and snotty comments as well. She bosses her brother around and is physically abusive to him. Now he is no angel... he's going through an incredibly whiney stage and I KNOW he does things just to irritate her but no matter how many times I talk to her about the proper way to handle it, she still continues to yell at and hit him.
I have had so many heart to hearts with her and usually walk away thinking "she really understands, and things are going to get better", but they never do. She has a sense of entitlement that I can't figure out where came from and when things don't go her way it's always someone elses' fault and she is so unloved and treated so unfairly. I've really had just about all I can handle and I haven't even hit the teen years.

That's me laughing WITH you ... because if I lose my sense of humor, I'm done for! Jessi spends more time grounded and in her room than she does not. I'm really hoping she gets it all out of her system NOW because I don't think we'll both live through her teen years!
