Surviving the teenage years .....
The terrible twos were blissful. This is the hard bit
How exactly can you offend someone by pointing out the dogs need exercise and if your on school hols you surely have time.
Teen had major drama moment phones friend says he is under siege, a hurricane has gone off maybe he saw his room then announces he is leaving home for his sanity.
Humour me with your teens finest moments cause its too early for wine.
To the childless reading this, you had a lucky escape

I've survived the previous 10 years of teenagerdom (including the horrific pre-pubescent stage) by zoning the [deleted] [deleted] [deleted] out.
Youngest is almost 17, so hopefully I only have 2 and a bit more years to suffer through.
Mind you, Himself will probably be going through his midlife crisis by then.

Re: Surviving the teenage years .....
My 16 year old is in year 11 and has told me that when she finishes school she is not going straight to Uni as she wants to go to Europe in the first semister. I've told that's fine but while she's not in education then she has to pay housekeeping. Well, she can't believe that a mother would charge their child to live at home etc, etc.... So she said she is moving out She will only be 17 1/2 but I've told her that's fine by me, and if she can find a place for $100 a week where she will have a bed, get all her food and washing etc then please let me know 'cos I want to come too!!!
I also have the problem with the dog walking, cleaning up after the dog etc. Jad n Rich - I think our kids go to the same school - maybe they should meet up to walk their dogs!!! I also sell wine if you're ever in need!

Re: Surviving the teenage years .....
Oldest Daughter... who was a teenager well into her Twenties, if you know what I mean. Was left looking after our youngest two whilst we both worked nights. She used to have a sleeping problem so would be up in the early hours.
We live opposite quite a large carpark near the old Pentridge prison. Which occasionally attracts car loads of youths. Oldest Daughter is out the front of our house at 3.30 am ish having a fag.... and takes exception to the 3 or 4 car loads of Lebanese youths across the road playing music and fooling around...... and lets out with "Keep it quiet you Lebo bastards" or something similar. As we all know they Lebanese Youths like being told what to do... especially in an offensive way and by a Female.
Consequently our house starts to be pelted with rocks. bits of metal and anything else they can get their hands on.... all the time our younger two aged 5 and 3 at the time are asleep in front bedrooms. Cops turn up and a battle ensues out the front of our house. Arrests are made, Daughter gets interviewed, we arrive home and survey the damage, which wasn't too bad mostly dents in the front of the house. No broken windows amazingly. . Hell were we annoyed with our daughter for provoking them. Luckily they never came back... or if they did they didn't bother us. We always made sure 2nd oldest daughter was always home to keep an eye on all the others from that point on.

I have 2 teenagers.
I know why tigers eat their young.
I think they may be on to something there.

I have a 14 year old and i would have babies/toddlers over a teenager anytime
When i here people say to pregnant ladies *you wait till they are born you will have your hands full* i laugh to myself and think nah wait till they are older thats when the real trouble starts! least when they are young you can control them without back chat

He got really peed off this weekend cause we were supposed to be going away, but partner got man flu: so now Ive wrecked his weekend.
Further to upset him I suggested a haircut, his hair which was justin beiber style long before anyone heard of him, is now down to his nose, he constantly flicks the head so he can see. He expects me to let him drive like that so I have asked for a $3700 bond, the insurance excess if he has a accident while looking so idiotic, I mean cool.

You lots are scaring me now...
Should JTL and I give our little darlin' angels (not monsters today )up for adoption now, while they still seem quite reasonable in public?

Re: Surviving the teenage years .....
Given puberty can hit them as early as nine these days, I'd not be hanging around
