I think I am in Parenting Purgatory

[snowwhitesmom]

And I have decided that raising teenagers is NOT for sissies!

 

[Disney Doll]

My friend has a sign in her house that says "Raising children is like being pecked to death by a duck".

 

[snowwhitesmom]

especially if the ones pecking at you are teenagers wanting your car keys, your money, your sanity,................

 

[Pop Daddy]

have you thought about running away until they are older

 

[snowwhitesmom]

every day, Pop Daddy, every day..................

 

[elismom]

I remember someone once saying living with teenages is
Like trying to nail jello to a tree
Or
raising teenagers is liking watching Jepordy
After a while you start to "think"
Maybe I really am stupid!

every day, Pop Daddy, every day..................

Well when you do run away TAKE ME WITH YOU!!!!!

 

[Cantw8]

as long as the liquor store stays in business, I'll be OK

 

[snowwhitesmom]

absolutely, Froggyswife - let's go! "Aruba, Jamaica..."

 

[clh2]

as long as the liquor store stays in business, I'll be OK

As the mother of a pre-teen drama queen, I couldn't agree more!!!

I have this hanging in my office......

Living with KIDS is like trying to nail jello to a tree..... (DD's not a teen yet, and I am scared very scared for those years!!!)

I too have thought about running away - when the evil twin makes her appearance several times a week - with no prior warning!!!

as long as the liquor store stays in business, I'll be OK

can I get an AMEN????

 

[Lars624]

I feel your pain!!

My b/g twins are 17..................and they know everything!

I work in a high school & all of the teenagers there know everything too

 

[LVSWL]

I thoroughly enjoy MY teenagers, but other people's teenagers can really get on my last nerve sometimes.

 

[snowwhitesmom]

(DD's not a teen yet, and I am scared very scared for those years!!!)

BE AFRAID...BE VERY AFRAID.................

 

[Tigger&Belle]

One thing that I've always said is that anyone who has a baby when they already has a teenager deserves what they get! My oldest was 12yo when my youngest was born, so I'm off the hook. Yeah, right, I wish that were true.

The reality is that with one in college, one in high school, one in middle school, and one in kindergerten, I think I'm going nuts some days. Today my 15yo had a meltdown. It's like having a 2yo in the house again.

I love the "Parenting is not for sissies" saying. So very true.

 

[Froggyswife]

Well put out to sea
And well perfect our chemistry
By and by well defy a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you

A little place like kokomo
