<p>The hype is typical of our media blowing things out of proportion don't you think? Like her music or not she has talent, which is more than can be said for Milly or Max.</p>

<p>I'm not sure what exactly Max has done to make the Herald stalk him, its not clear whether its entirely his doing, Entitled might have been harsh but I reckon over indulged is pretty fair , I hate myself for reading this article to prove my point but</p>

<p>I don't have any daughters but if I did and a 23 year old guy was sniffing around my 16 year old daughter he'd have difficulty sniffing after I got a hold of him, from what I've seen of her parents they strike me as "modern parents" in the worst kind of way who probably approved of the relationship.</p> -

<p>Worse that that "<span style="color:rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Calibri, Candara, Segoe, 'Segoe UI', Optima, Arial, sans-serif;font-size:16px;">the heart that oxygenates my deepest blue", with pretentious wankery like that they were obviously a good if more than a little inappropriate match.</span></p> -

<p>Well, she has moved back home this week.</p>
<p>Decided that her parents aren't all that bad & agreed to a couple of simple house rules.</p>
<p>She is looking at doing a couple of courses (yes we'll pay, but that is what parents are for after all) & looking for a part time job.</p>
<p>She no longer expects everything to be her way (mostly) & is actually looking forward & wanting to have some control over her future & not wanting to become a waste of space (her words).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Things are going really well in the house at the moment (I'm aware that this might just be a honeymoon period though) & communication is at an all time high.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It took 3 weeks & was hard to do as parents, but I think the "real world experience" has taught her a lot in a very short space of time.</p>
<p>Apparently life sucks with no money & no one will just give it to you. Go figure.</p> -
<p>Good to hear Chaz.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This may sound a little weird, but do you reckon her spikier episodes are due to menstrual hormones? Like every 4 weeks she just loses her shit?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As time has gone on in my marriage, I've come to understand my wife's hormonal crests reasonably well (I use this to track impending poontang, I'm not ashamed to say). And I'm not looking forward to when my little girl starts getting the daemon flow...</p> -
<p>Nah, not really. Her attitude was pretty crap for basically the whole of last year.</p>
<p>Some bad days may have coincided, but I wouldn't label them as part of the cause, just this generation & their expectations of entitlement.</p> -

<p>Great to hear, and good on you for sticking to your guns. Sometimes tough love is the only answer no matter how shit you feel at the time. Here's hoping for a peaceful and successful 2016 for you and your daughter.</p> -

<p>Snerk. Depends entirely on how many brownie points you have accumulated during the other three weeks. Hormones are entirely unreliable, at any given time your manhood could be pounced on or punched.</p>

<p>haha yes, knowing when not to push ones luck is key, anytime of the month! </p>
