Trust me, the attitude will come and go. “What was I thinking,” indeed–what were you thinking? You weren’t! That’s OK, he will probably give you less grief than a teenage girl will (I’m trying to be optimistic for you )

As a parent of a teenage girl about to turn 16 next month, I think they should have used the money spent of this research to pamper the mothers of teenagers with a day at the spa! I know I could sure use a day at the spa.

Growing up my mother always said “I can’t wait til you have kids!” I am definitely being paid back for the grief I caused my mother over the years. I am looking forward to the day my kids are grown up and out on their own. I’m going to be waiting for a while. My daughter may be about to turn sixteen but she has a younger brother just 5 years old. What was I thinking!

I am thankful that what grief my daughter has caused me, it is minor and manageable and overall she is decent person (somewhere under that attitude.)

I love my children. Love them more the older they get. But somewhere around the time my oldest turned 10 I finally wised up and realized it wasn’t going to get any easier. Teenagers are tougher definitely–more fun too but definitely more work.

It doesn’t get easier…but they DO come around. 10 sounds pretty early…~skt

I’m surrounded by girls, no boys, other than a dog, and possibly our fish (I’m not sure of him, never having looked close enough).

I just learned to keep my head down and my thoughts to myself.

In one of the Grumpy Old Men movies, Burgess Meridith’s character said, “Kids, you can’t live with them, and you can’t shoot ‘em.” Pretty much sums it up for me.

LOL. You crack me up.~skt

I love the expression they use in Nova Scotia, it’s called “going over Fool’s Hill” when teenagers just think they are all that and then some. They do stupid stuff b/c they are unable to think of the consequences, “what? Me worry?”

You know I am living through it! LOL, read the same study, they could have asked me too!

Fool’s Hill sounds mild. It’s Fool’s Mountain, isn’t it? lol

Right now in our household we are dealing with the typical teenage behavior of a girl that is almost 17 who is challenging authority and testing rules. I think that she is pmsing a good portion of the 365 days in the year. My husband keeps telling me that our daughter was abducted by aliens and will be returned to us when she is 21.

Maybe she will be returned at 21. I have a boy who was almost normal until he turned 25…that’s when HIS hormones kicked in!~skt

One son who ran me crazy for about 4 years. It was a nightmare. Well, I was a nightmare too, so I got paid back. Now he is getting paid back. He complains to me and I just say, Bwahahahahaah!!!

Research for this huh. I think they could have just asked us moms to clear this one up.

One of these days, I want to hear how you actually pronounce “Bwahahahaah!” ~skt
