It's not just us then...
I caught a brief item on this on R4 this morning. They were a bit dismissive but I thought "yes, that sounds about the right number":

Any advance on 183?
I was hoping we'd be getting past this stage in a couple of years, I sincerely hope it isn't going to continue until she's 23 (ten years! )

Wow! Is that all? I'm looking forward to the end of primary years in that case.

You should try having boys...mystery wrote:Wow! Is that all? I'm looking forward to the end of primary years in that case.
Re: It's not just us then...
We have older boys and a younger girl. I reckon the hormones will all hit all three around the same time. Rather like have a houseful of pre-schoolers; a few intense years, hopefully better than dragging it out. Stocking up on wine now...

I feel profoundly lucky. Yes my dd argues, but nowhere near that amount. She's very easy going actually, and come to think of it, so was my son.

Re: It's not just us then...
me too Snowdrops but DD could just be storing it up for a massive explosion when I least expect it. DD tries to wheedle things like later bedtime but she doesn't really argue with us. When little (aged 2?) she once started making a strange noise when thwarted in some way - when asked what she was doing she replied "insert DD's name whinging"

I doubt it's all luck.

My kindest, gentlest, most loving, good and considerate gentle giant DS1 has, over the last few months, become a huge strop monster I would like to original back if anybody comes across him.
Re: It's not just us then...
My 13 almost 14 year old is -mostly - easy, kind, loving, helpful. I couldn't ask for a better daughter. But my daughter aged 11 here isn't happy by that. She's lovely too in a rather stroppy kind of way. The future will be - hormonal - I can see it already
Re: It's not just us then...
Don't get me wrong, our daughter is lovely - funny, charming, hard working...intermittently...things blow up without any warning or reason. It's a bit like a summer day punctuated by short, sharp thunderstorms...
We have two going through it at the same time. It sounds terrible but I have absolutely no idea how our son is coping because he's being very quiet about it all while daughter most definitely isn't.
