Yes, impossibly skilled. I'm sure the environment has warmed by several points because of her fridge opening skills.

When asked what she's doing, she grunts... 'Hungry'...

More than happy to take your teenager, which flight does she arrive on... I LOVE teenagers


If we arrange this right My MIL will arrive as you're dropping your kevin off at the airport.... Save you an extra trip out... No need for you to get foxtel... She will get you up to speed with DeadEnders in no time at all...

Seems like a fair swap!

I don't think a swap's on the cards.

I got four of em that do the fridge stare as if junk food will magically appear if they look enough

Mind I have to admit I think boys are much easier after sampling the delights of my step daughter who throws a complete toddler tantrum if she asked to do the slightest thing, complete with tears.
A bit like this

I'm preparing for a mass onslaught of 16 year old teens for DD's birthday sleepover. It was going to be a pool party, but the weather is not good, so they will all be inside. There are only 6 of them, but catering is tricky as 2 are lactose intolerant and one is a full blown coeliac- no nut allergies though!!!
I'm doing chicken drumsticks, gluten free sausages, salad, gluten free cake, strawberries and lactose free cream, soya ice cream, and chips and dips (no dairy ones). There will be gluten free pizza bases and make it yourself toppings too, and gluten free pancakes and toast the next morning. Usual fizzy drinks, apple juice, orange juice etc....

We have also bought DD a "just dance" game for the Wii and some videos to watch.

Spent yesterday at SOPAC, watching DD swim at State Age Champs - she scraped a PB by 0.01 seconds in her event, and was so angry with herself it was scary. She knew she could have gone faster, but has to learn to deal with it. At least she had a big PB in her other event. (phew)

DD is generally lovely, but when she is annoyed with herself, watch out!!!

Hang on.. this is your teenager? And a girl?

But it sounds like all three of my boys!!??!

We did surmise that that minister who complained about smelly migrants must have sat next to Middlechild on the train.

Teenagers make you look back on the terrible twos as a honeymoon.

A two year old screaming, holding its breath and headbanging is nothing compared to the full blown cyclone ahead.

Youngest teen is now 15, with boys I have found the worst time is 16 - 18, smart ass know it all big mouths with double attitude.

Spent Xmas with mate who has 3 girls very similar ages to my sons, I think girls have the edge on teenage hood, the moods, the screaming, the DRAMA

Never mind ladies, one day, these delightful young people will have teens of their own Life is cruel

Or if they're really sensible, they'll stay child free and wealthy.

Top five teenage moments of the last month.

The Dads face when friends 17 year old daughter (baby of the family the princess) came out wearing 7 inch heels and mini lace dress for date with boyfriend

My reaction to you washing a red tshirt with the new white egyptian cotton sheets is not me needing to chill more

Yes it is responsible to use condoms dear, but 2 packs of 24 since grad, and your girlfriend looks so sweet!!!

No you dont knock back shifts 3 times in a week and tell your employer you need to party this weekend

If you borrow my car I would prefer it if your do not leave half a meatball sub in it for 2 days in 37 degree heatwave.
