During the Christmas Break we had my Brothers family over, and when I tried to greet them when they came over it was his 17 year old daughter who was so mean and rude and cold-hearted that she couldn't even say hello properly, she gave me a bad look and just walked into my house? are you kidding me? she is 17 and is old enough to know that for her age, she should have some sort of respect to me, her elder or her elders, I'm letting you stay over at my house and giving you shelter? She looked like she was in a bad mood but she is old enough to know that she should recognize the fact that she is coming over to have fun and visit and not bring your personal issues to your visit to our house and whatever the problem is don't take it out on us? I was very curious to know what was the problem but I was afraid to ask my brother about her since he would end up racing towards the door and out, I did not want to begin a confrontation or a fight so I just allowed what his 17 year daughter did to me to put me in a concerning mood, this was so unpredictable and could have been avoided if she atleast said hello and since she didn't it kind of left me feeling unwell and uncomfortable to be around my brothers family throughout the break, and it leves me wondering if I should invite them again or not for next year.

So much family drama over Christmas. I think some families would be better off just going on their own separate vacations next year.

Teens can be moody. Ignore it.

A post about a moody, disrespectful teen acting moody and disrespectful towards you? That's par for the course at that age.

The best way to handle issues like this is to not invite anyone to your home to stay for extended periods of time.

You took the words right out of my mouth.

Give that heifer some Taco Bell and ignore the behavior. Teens are moody. I think it's usually pretty funny, actually. All that angst, all that judgmental discomfort, all that umbrage over having to participate in family gatherings. Honestly, that whole Lord of the Flies island thing seems like a pretty good idea sometimes.

How much experience do you have with teen girls? This one sounds perfectly normal.

Teens can be a pain in the neck. Just ignore it, don't take it to heart and use humor.

I would have looked at her and said " Bah humbug, I see Scrooge has arrived" and let her be for the rest of the visit.

It's not worth getting upset over. Whatever was bothering her probably had nothing to do with you individually but with the whole Christmas Day thing in general and her parents in particular. Let her sulk.
