Question
Hi. My question is about my thirteen year old daughter and her constant complaining whenever shes asked to do something that she doesn't want to do. She will get all.emmotional and complain and argue and tell.me why she doesn't want to do it and how it's not fair and things like that. But then she will do it. She pretty much always does what I ask but lately it is super rare for it to be done without complaining. I know that the good thing is, is that she is obedient in the sense that she does what I ask. But it's really frustrating that she complains so much before and while she does it. She changes the whole mood of the house and creates so much tension and brings so much drama. It frustrates me because I feel that doing things without complaining is an important character quality. And if it was every now and then it would be easier to accept at times, but like I said, lately it's all the time. The only time she doesn't really complain about something is if she wants something that is coming up and she doesn't want to lose it. But I just feel like sometimes you need to do things without complaining because that's part of life. Anyways, I know she's young and she's growing and shes still learning, but I just don't want to allow her to get away with this complaining because I don't want her to be a negative person and think that it's okay to complain about the things of life that are just part of life. So what do you think I should do when she throws a fit like this?
