Parenting a teen is not for the faint of heart.
Teens have the perfect mix of childhood immaturity and selfishness, mixed with adult levels of will and argumentativeness. When all cylinders are firing, it can be lethal.
Luckily, the jury of the internet is always here with ears wide open, ready to give a third-party opinion on all parent-teen conflict.

AITA for grounding my daughter for leaving her sister with the neighbor?
I’m the single mom of 3 kids: “Polly” (16F), “Trevor” (12M) and “Cassie” (8F). I have little to no support.
Their father left after Cassie was born, no family nearby, etc. I have 2 sitters that I call on as needed and I use them before I’d ever ask Polly for help. I don’t want her missing out on her teenage years.
