Is it just me or are tweens and young teens super annoying? they want to be taken seriously but everything that comes out of their mouth is just obnoxious nonsense. They still think that they are children so they tried to act cute to get their way but it really doesn't work. They like to play both sides of a situation and get out of responsibilities because they're still just kids but also get privileges because they are grown up. they act like they are independent but still want you to do everything for them

I think that SD12 is even more annoying because the pandemic and us having a baby has made her regress. 

Every time she walks past my baby daughter she will pick up her sippy cup and take a drink out of it. This absolutely infuriates me.

She also tries to put on my daughter's baby hats and stretches them out over her head.

She drank all of the tiny baby juice boxes while she was here last time. Why the heck did she have three 4 oz juice boxes (that are perfect for a baby when we're on the go) when she could have just had a glass of juice!?

SD12 is so lazy, it's as if she has trouble remaining vertical. He will go into the living room and lay on the couch, then she will go to her bedroom and lay on the bed, then she will go to my daughter's room and lay on the play mat. She even leans over on the kitchen table because holding herself upright is just too much effort. 

SD is obsessed with horror movies but it's clear that she has not been allowed to actually watch any because duh she's 12. She will describe horror movies but it's pretty clear she's only ever watched the YouTube summaries of them. She still tries to play it off like she is a horror movie expert and how she has seen every single one. 

I know way more about celebrities than I care to because that is the other thing that SD will not shut up about.

She also seems to be swinging wildly on the political scale. Her opinion on the president and the election is entirely opposite of what it was the last time we saw her. She was bitching about how it's one political party is at fault for everything and both times now she has assumed that we are whatever party that she doesn't like at the moment. 

SD is a critic of everything. The show we're watching, the actor on screen their makeup their hair the food we're eating an item of clothing everything is critiqued like she is some paid reviewer. It's her favorite hobby but it is so snotty and ugly.

if she isn't critiquing something that she sees it's pointing out things that she wants. I want those shoes I want that car I want this I want that.

It's not all bad though. My husband has not been hesitating to call her out on this annoying behavior whenever she starts doing it. She got in trouble for drinking all the juice boxes she got told to take the toddler hat off and best of all he called her out for arguing about things that she knows nothing about. He told her to read before she opens her mouth. Awesome.

Of course whenever somebody doesn't let her have her way she immediately threatens to never come over again. She already barely comes over so this is a hollow threat and my husband doesn't even care about it anymore.
