Hi Ya!

[teacups]

Just a hello from an old lady who read with admiration the post on the CB about teen bashing (for lack of a better term). I dont usually call myself old, but I know to you guys... it is what it is! When one of you steps up like that and the rest of you backs her up... that is awesome! Good job!!


Hey, can I come here to ask you guys advice when my daughter (now 8) becomes a teen and starts to hate me? I already tell her she will one day, but she swears she wont 'cause she has the best mommy. She says I'm not like those "other moms" Don't know what that means exactly...

As far as the CB goes... come and post with us. And when someone turns airhead, tell them to enjoy the rest of their day.

Ha, sure.

But you seem cool. If you were my mom, I probably wouldn't hate you.

lol.

You're right. She probably will. Maybe not. I dunno. I don't really hate my mom. There are times I wish she had a different view on things. All in all though, she's pretty cool. My dad though is a different story. =p

Thanks for making the thread about the TB. It'll be nice to have a thread from an adult's POV too. And... you're not old to me =]

So thank you...and you're welcome to post here whenever you want.

I think you'll be seeing a bit more of us over on the CB now.

Thanks again, really.

Oh, this made me smile.

Thank you for coming here and telling us that. This really shows that age shouldn't matter at all.
And it helps for everyone here who is afraid of posting on the CB. I've heard it a lot and this definitely helps.

Thank you! :

Thanks for coming over here and posting this, its very kind.

And i must say, i love your Jack Sparrow avatar XD

 

[Babyjustrun]

Don't worry.
She won't hate you.
She'll probably just not see eye to eye with you and find you a bit more irritating.
But she'll never hate you. And if she says she does, she doesn't mean it.
Sometimes we don't always talk.. nice? to our parents and later we feel sorry.

Hi! Thank you so much for coming over here to post on our teen board. I also really appreciate your post on the CB.

Advice about your daughter?
Well, I have quite a bit, actualy, if you'd really like to know.

1. First of all, don't tell her she is going to hate you. If she grows up hearing that, she most certainly will follow it.
2. Be her friend. Be there for her. Be understanding. Be involved in her life. The best thing my mom ever did for me was to be my best friend in addition to a mother.
3. Lay down the laws. But with the THINGS THAT MATTER. I hate to say it, but I think that parents who are strict are the ones whose children really appreciate them more. Often, the more lenient the parents, the more bratty and disrespectful the children are because as soon as they DO try to lay down the law, the children don't take them seriously.
(IMHO) Things that matter: Don't drink. Don't do drugs. Don't have sex right away. Pick good friends. School comes first. Family is important. Don't fight with your siblings (as much is possible). Be respectful to your elders. Lying is wrong.
(IMHO) Things that don't matter: Being 15 minutes late for curfew. A little occassional backtalk (teens will be teens and will have opinions). Occassional swearing. Etc.etc.etc.
4. MOST IMPORTANTLY: LOVE HER LOVE HER LOVE HER! Make sure that she knows no matter what, no matter how much she screws up, you will always love her.

Just be a good role model and cross that bridge when you come to it. She still has a good 4 years til you have to worry anyways. Just be the great/cool mom you have always been, remember that you were a teen once too, and everything will be alright.

Hope that helps!!!

Also, ITA with this.

 

[BabyPiglet]

Oh Ash ITA!

You should make her feel like she can come to you know matter what happens, no matter what! So many kids today are scared to talk to their parents with personal things for fear of being 'un-loved'.

 

[::Snow_White::]

Of course you are welcomed to come here!

And about your daughter. She is most likely not going to hate you.
I love my mom to pieces.
Although do we have times when we disagree and want them to go away for awhile? Of course we do.
There is going to be arguments but we usually don't mean anything we say and like Hilary said we feel sorry about it later.

And thanks for coming by. :

She won't hate you. It's just sometimes teens and adults dont see eye to eye. When I get mad at my parents, I always wish I could go back in time to fix the problem before it even started.

Thanks for stopping by!!!
