This Mom Doesn’t Like Her 16-Year-Old Daughter And She’s Asking The Internet If It’s Bad To Admit That

A mom has a 16-year-old daughter, and not too long ago, she was having a discussion with a friend of hers when she just came out and admitted that she doesn’t even like her own child.

“Don’t get me wrong I love her with all my heart, but she’s not very likable,” she explained.

“She is quite mean to me, always saying sly comments like if I say I like what I’m wearing she will say it’s ugly. She is very spiteful to her younger siblings and bullies them a lot.”

“She will go nuts and will slam doors, blast music, and throw things if she can’t get her own way. She refuses to eat whatever I buy, even when I buy things she likes, she will say she no longer likes them.”

Her daughter will then ask for money to purchase her own food, and if she says no, her daughter accuses her of trying to force her to not eat since she is fat.

According to this mom, her daughter also will lie to other people in their lives in an effort to get them to feel bad for her.

She has attempted to get her daughter to see a counselor, and she’s also tried to get her medical attention after she’s mentioned she was depressed, but her daughter will not go.

She feels she’s failing her as a mom over her refusal to get any kind of help.

“So I confessed all this to a friend when I had, had a particularly bad day and I said I don’t actually like my daughter,” she said.

“My friend said I was a terrible person for feeling like that and no wonder my daughter treats me this way.”

She maintains that she’s never before revealed that she doesn’t like her daughter, and her friend is the only person who now knows her secret.

Her daughter has no idea how she feels, and neither do her other children. “I have never treated her differently to her siblings, I am always affectionate and there for her no matter what,” she continued.

Here’s what the internet had to say.

“You love her but she’s a brat. It’s okay not to like that.”

“My mom and I are a lot closer now but when I was a teenager I absolutely hated her.”

“And we have had several conversations now that I am an adult and we actually get along extremely well and she has told me that when I was a teenager she hated me.”

“Understandable because I was an absolute rebellious brat. Not to the extent of your daughter but I was definitely a brat.”

“I will pay for that one of these days when I have kids lol. But it’s okay to think that. You love her because she is your kid but I completely understand how you are feeling.”

“She’s 16 and that is a really difficult age. Can you get therapy for yourself while you work through this? The therapist can even help you deal with your daughter differently.”

“I don’t like her either! I understand you were just needing to vent to your friend and your friend didn’t get it. Teenage years can be terrible.”

“I hope your daughter overcomes the angst years soon and especially stops bullying her younger siblings, who probably don’t like her much either!”

“You can dislike your child and still love them. You need a friend who is real and honest. That is totally normal to feel that way with a teenager.”

“Quit beating yourself up over your daughter’s attitude and def don’t listen to your friend. You’ll make it through and your daughter will be sweet again.”

“As far as getting her to go to a doctor, I’m not sure why she has the choice. You are the parent and she’s a minor. Make the appointment and take her sassy tail there.”
