Pre teenager.

I can't handle my eight year old, How am I supposed to think I will be able to deal with a teenager. She is nuts. Girls are impossible. How did my parents get through my years like this. I can't talk to her, whatever I say is Wah wah wah (like charlie brown). Even on a good day when they are all doing art projects and I helped her with what she wanted to do, but it wasn't exactly what she wanted, I told her to start the top again, she saw what I did, she is very good at art...... AND she bursts into tears you don't have to yell or laugh or whatever she says. ( why do they always get upset in hebrew, so you can't understand what they are saying when they are crying and yelling and whinning)
I don't get it!!!
I don't see survival here as an option.
