Teen girls sharing family autos – never a fiercer struggle
Our 16 year old would rather fall on the sword than share anything with her 17 year old sister, and vice versa. The 3rd family car, designated for the teen girls to share, is a full time hostage.
Each daughter claims the other has a “monopoly” on this 3rd car. Each would gladly terminate the other if they thought they would not be apprehended. Never has there been a fiercer competitive struggle between 2 teen girls over, literally, anything. Nothing is freely given or asked for. Whether it’s sharing a pie in the refrigerator, the TV remote control, or the keys to the 3rd car, it’s all a war. Absolutely no quarter is given. No concessions, no negotiation, it’s full on hostilities and a war of attrition.
The first victims, on a daily basis, are the parents. Trust me on this one, sharing is not a gene within the teenage anatomy, does not exist.
Hope to hear from similar parents!
