Mother/Daughter Relationships
What is it with teenagers?
When I was a teenager I used to go days without talking to my mother. I would just blow all day long. What, you may ask, did she do to deserve the 'silent treatment'? Actually, nothing! Just for being my mother. I always found something wrong with anything she said .
I am married now for a couple of years. I have a wonderful relationship with my mother. We go strolling the Avenue (Which one?) on Sunday. And I don't give a crap if she says something not to my liking. I simply brush it off. But looking back, I can't help but feel guily for the torture I put her through. I still don't agree with everything she says or does but she's my mother and however weird she is I love her. What I don't understand is why I acted like that. Why do teens think their parents are their worst enemies?
