Coaches texting 15 year old girls seems pretty weird

You are not alone OP . We have a 19 year old that has put us thru the ringer. The constant attitude and negative energy is a drain . I told my wife if this is the way she treats us then imagine the way she is with other people. We have been there for her thru all her drama and everything only to be treated like crap. You just hope one day she will see that we only wanted what was in her best interest.

Tell the coach the issues you are having and the steps that you have taken to try to make corrections. If the coach does their job, they will be an ally. If they aren't, then the coach may be a source of the attitude.

Coach abusing her? An uncle or boyfriend? Alphabet people starting to get to her?

I chose to have only sons. I recommend that next time.
My son is now 19. He is epileptic and has to take seizure medicine that can make him bipolar at times. Maybe once or twice a year during his teen years. Some episodes got extinguished quickly, some went on for hours.
You'll never be more pissed as a parent than when dealing with a kid going through a bipolar episode. Ive punched through a couple of doors back in the day.

I would add, should the coaches not be helpful, shut it all down. No sports. Period.

This.
You and your wife HAVE TO HAVE an united front, otherwise your daughter will play you off of each other. You think you are punishing her, but in reality, she's making your life worse. If your wife's sole argument is the coaching communication thing, then I would take my wife with me to talk to the coach and explain the situation. If he's a good guy, he may be a massive asset in the issue you are trying to resolve. As the father of a 17 y/o daughter, I can attest that my advice is rarely heeded, but if someone else gives the exact same advice, she usually takes it. We were all teenagers once, and our parents didn't know anything until WE got older and realized just how smart they were.

Prayers. I have a 15 year old also and she drives me insane. Its all attitude and smart mouth but wants everything for nothing. I have another daughter right behind her in age and shes not like that, hope it stays that way.

I wouldn't have dared to say that to my old man. He'd still kill me today if I said some shite like that.
I gotta admit I am not at all looking forward to raising a kid in the cell phone and social media age. It's rare to see a kid who doesn't have his face glued to an iPad or phone.

Took her phone away and her mom in my damn ear saying she needs her phone because that’s how her coaches communicate with their players on things.
If you are the one paying the phone bill it is your privilege and duty to tell them both tough shite.

My 13 year old daughter does that sometimes. She apologizes shortly after without us doing anything to her. My wife and I both get it.
It will eventually go away. Ball up and deal with it.
When she gets on your last nerve just think about those little girls that were killed earlier this year by a drunk. You still get to hold your daughters.
We went to the memorial service last week for one of those girls (West Ridge Middle School) and it was hard as hell. When her dad got up there to speak that compounded it.

Found your problem.
Are you man enough to fix it?

Make sure she goes to church every Sunday. Being around all that goodness makes it difficult to be cruel.
Seriously, it will help.

I did this once. It’s amazing how quick they have a change in attitude when you do that. She straightened her act immediately. I still keep the door in the shed for 2 weeks

Or replace her door handle with a closet door handle (no lock) while she is out. She won't even notice the difference until she tries to lock it.

Have you tried giving her hormones and transitioning her to a boy yet?
Good luck
Good luck

My 16 yr old son barely talks to us. I get a few words out of him per day, otherwise it’s just texts asking for cleats or a ride
Thankfully, my son never went through the sullen, moody stage as a teen.
Daughter and wife/mom went at it from middle school through high school. Clash of two very strong personalities. They'd fight at the drop of a hat. She and I always had (and still have) a good relationship.

This right here! frick all that noise. The coaches can contact the parents. Why would a coach want that kind of liability anyway?

this is a hard situation that doesn't have a golden answer. One thing I learned was to tell her in the moment, "I'm gong to walk away for a minute and calm down, we will talk about this in a few". If she was planning to go somewhere that meant she wasn't leaving until I was ready to come back. It helped me rehearse what I was going to say/do so I didn't do anything that I would regret later. A lot of it is a stage that hopefully she gets through soon, I also think there is a bunch of entitlement built into our kids of no fault of their parents. It grooms them to feel like a victim all the time instead of realizing they are being taught accountability. Best of luck buddy.
