Girls Only Disneyland Trip - Old Thread

[daisy_77]

Damn, I don't want my kids to grow up!!! When Adam is 18, Noelle will be 16 and Lindsey and Hannah will be 13!! Four teens in one house. I'm going to need lots and lots of chocolate and pills.

Maybe they'll be like me. I was an angel when I was a teen. I never drank, smoked, or snuck out.




Well.......not much. Actually I never did drink. But I smoked, lied to teachers and parents, ditched countless classes, came home late, got suspended from school, etc.

OMG, the worst was when my mom, stepdad, and brother went camping. I stayed home and had Ruben spend the night at my house with me. At some point the weather turned bad at the campground so my family packed up and came home in the middle of the night!
You don't know fear until you've had your MOTHER wake you up at 2 a.m. and tell you in the coldest voice ever that your boyfriend needs to go home.

I got out of getting in trouble though. I always did. Which is why I'm gonna be wise to all the tricks my kids will try and pull!! Been there, done that.

Delayed reaction huh?







Ladies, thanks for the candy PMs. So far I've gotten 5 replies. Not that there's any rush. Whenever you all know just PM me.
And now I seriously want candy. It's all sounding good so far!!!

I am undecided still. There are so many yummy ones

My roomies were both rebels when they were teenagers too. What a bunch of naughty girls we were!

Everyone signed up for the Meet and Greet, please PM me with your candy selection as soon as you know it.
We need to keep track so we know how many and what sort of containers we need for the candy buffet, and also to ensure we have a nice variety. By PMing me with your choice, we are still able to keep the list a surprise for everyone showing up that night.

Now I'm hungry.

How about a little chocolate????

This isn't helping.

You always have the best smilies.

I'm surprised you aren't still grounded.

Yeah I am a

Beth, on the other hand....she still is naughty.

 

[Stacerita]

I'm getting tired just reading this.

I also hope you have an early night!!

Don't worry about me. I have scheduled myself to have a nap tomorrow. So I should be able to catch up on my sleep then.

Beth, on the other hand....she still is naughty.

Well I've already warned Beth that I'm going to keep her in line! (You better watch out too miss "angel".)

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

I am a preacher's kid. The things I did when no one was looking boggle my mind. I never did any drugs, and drinking was only mild and sporatic, but smoking, sneaking, and lieing were my hobbies!

My boyfriend spent 6 hours in my closet when I was a junior in HS. My parents came home early from a deacon's dinner. I snuck him food, and about an hour after my parents were sleeping, he was able to leave.

 

[disney-super-mom]

Oh my gosh, I'm loving all these teenager tell-alls from you ladies. More! More!

Girl, your place where the sun doesn't shine is looking a little sunburned.

 

[LittleBlackRaincloud]

Uh oh January, I hope the Dis police don't get you! ::cop: This is a family site you know!!!

Oh my gosh..those stories are soooooOOOOoo funny!

when i was a senior in highschool.. my boyfriend and i hastily got dressed in the dark.. and then i went in and was talking to my parents while he snuck out the door.. little did i know... until i returned to my bedroom... not OnLy was my shirt on backwards... it was on inside out.
Oh YeaH.. NiCe!

Anywayssssssssssss... we've been married over 25 years.. so good things can come from teenagers being naughty.



Kelley...

See... all these stories have one common thread.... the progression from teenager to responsible adult.

Perhaps try to tell her the things she does that are good. Focus on those small triumphs. Reieterate them over and over. Noone is bad all the time..unless they are jeffery dalhmer...and i bet he's even bad in heLL.

Wowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowowow... those photos Beth just posted look soooo PreTTy!
i just put one as my background.

Hey Steph, you go girl!

BTW - I'm the insane one! I graduated from college (finally) in 1997. I've been out of the work force since 1998 and have since been a stay-at-home mom. This year I'm turning 39 years old. I recently decided to go back to school for teacher certification. It'll take me about two years (maybe a little less) to finish my schooling before I can get a job teaching, and by then I'll be at least 40 years old! Who in the heck is going to hire a new teacher that's a 40+ year old fogey who has been out of the work force for 11+ years?!!!

My son's 2nd grade teacher last year is/was 51..it was her first year teaching.
Are you going to Eastern?

You preacher's kids are such rebels...

Thanks so much everyone. You guys are great! Cheryl reminded me I probably shouldn't have posted that on a public board so I deleted it. But I knew you guys would understand. It is just so hard because with Shane working nights I am just SO exhausted and I feel like the MINUTE I let my guard down she takes advantage and I can't take all this stress. I am REALL on the edge right now and I am trying to get myself under control and she is pushing me OVER that edge. My nerves are seriously shot right now and I don't think anyone realizes that I literally had a mental breakdown only 2 weeks ago and I am STILL trying to get that under control. I am trying to get on medication and I am meeting with therapists to try and get myself under control for my anxiety and everything but with Shane gone all night long and me here by myself the last thing I need is for her to try and pull something like this. I LITERALLY can't take it right now.

My parents are out of town and I have NO ONE to help me out when Shane is at work. Lynn KNOWS this and is taking advantage of it. We have her in counseling as well but it may come down to her having to go to some type of boot camp or something because no matter how much youth groups we have put her in and counseling and everything else she just keeps defying everything we have tried to do for her. She has not just gotten in trouble with drugs and alcohol she has actually been arrested for theft. And it is worse because she has a mother who is absolutely awful who has committed abuse and no matter what she has done to her Lynn still tries to go back to her. It is just exhausting.

But anyway I really appreciate your understanding an obviously we are hoping for the best for her but sometimes I DO worry that she is going down the wrong path and we won't be able to lead her back to the right one. She is flunking out of school and no matter how much I try to convince her she is ruining her life she doesn't care. I just don't want her to completely blow it.

Thanks everyone for being understanding. It means a lot!

My teenager story isn't about me (I WAS an angel--don't ask about now!) but remember the great-grandma who cheated at cards?

Well, after she died we were going through her things and found her marriage license; turns out that my grandfather (her son) was a little, how do I say it, "premature?" By about four months . . . . .

 

[sahbushka]

I actually was an angel . My brother was the one that got in all the trouble. I actually am still an angel...have to be in order to keep my job and also it is just who I am. I still have a blast though!
