| Just know that this too shall pass. You will have more gray hairs, maybe a little tic, bulging eyeballs, high blood pressure, and probably crying binges...but they do outgrow it.....eventually!!!!

| All I know is that my 16yr old son had better "outgrow" "it" very soon or he won't make it to his 17th birthday! Sometimes I think it is easier not to talk to them at all. I knew I should have stuck with furbabies!

To the OP - what is going on? Can we help in a specific way. My daughter is 18. Also you might want to check out this thread Denise517 posted a couple mths ago - lots of good ideas were shared with her http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=102834 I'm a big believer in prayer. Give this to God. Ask Him to let you have His love for her. And I strongly recommend the book - Stormie Omartin's book "The Power of a Praying Parent" I highly recommend getting a copy of this.

| Teenagers I had many, many sleepless nights with both my son and daughter during their teens. My daughter used to slice me up with her cutting words. Man! Daughters just know exactly what your weaknesses are and they go for the jugular verbally. She used to just cut me to the heart with a couple of words. Of course I was the stupidest mother in the world, and the ugliest and most disgusting and I had no idea what was going on in the world. She dated some guys I didn't approve of, and that was hard, but her husband is a terrific guy. My son just acted out. He stayed out until all hours while I would wake up in the middle of the night and have anxiety attacks waiting for him. Then he'd be grounded, but he'd leave anyway and it didn't matter if he was grounded until he was 100 years old! He got himself into trouble, drank and did drugs. It nearly killed me. Then he had an epiphany one day and decided drugs were going to be deadly, so he gave them up. But I still had to force him to finish high school since most of his buddies were dropping out. I used to roust him out of bed in the morning after a night of partying like a bootcamp sergeant. I had to drive him to summer school to make sure he got there to make up credits after he skipped his classes for weeks. Anyway, this too shall pass. Both my kids are great adults now. Both are married, settled, my son taught himself to be a software developer and he's good at it. My daughter has run a couple of home businesses and hopes to be a mom one day soon. It all worked out in the end. Just don't give up. Stick to your guns, make them follow the rules to the best of your ability, even if it means they hate you for a while. They'll thank you later. |

| Join the crowd I remember being a blankedy blank teenager and yet when my kids are saying they hate me and we aren't a true family and blah blah it cuts me to the bone. I wish I could tell them everything I did wrong and what I learned from it and they would listen. But let's face it, they won't. I think God intended us to have this trial and error period. It helps us seperate from our families when it is time and yet have our parents there to catch us when we fall til that time comes. You have to hope you train them in the way they should go and they will return to it. As for periods. My sister in law is a third grade teacher and she tells me that over 1/2 her class has their periods. I heard something about the floride in the water affecting our cycles. When I was in school only one girl started (that we knew of ) in forth (plus my cousin from a different school). It has to be something different. My boy, who has been the apple of my eye. He has never failed to do all that I asked of him and more. He stood by and held my hand as we went through terrible times together and told me how much he loves me. I never thought I would love a boy like I do. Anyway, he is the one who suddenly thinks that we are ignorant and he knows all. He thinks our family is horrible and he wants to live with his grandparents. Well, if his grandparents had been my parents I would want to live with them too. But when they were my parents they were not so great and surely not as forgiving! I guess we have to PRAY PRAY PRAY! |

| Well I have a 15 year old son, and there are days that boy drives me to distraction! He is a good kid, generous to a fault, loves to still give his mom, a kiss and a quick hug( his own doing ). Hard working, has a part time job. But getting him to do school work is like pulling his teeth out one by one. He has to chores at home. Helping his younger sister to do dishes, and to take out the garbage. I swear I have to beg and plead with him everyday to do it, and then when he does, it takes him 2 to 3 hours just to do dishes( not a exaggration) and then he waits to take the garbage until its over flowing. Then when i do say something to him, all he says its not my fault, or rolls his eyes, or mutters to him self? Is this a normal teenager thing? Or am I too hard on him, getting him to help out. HELP!

| I have a 25,19,18,15,9 yr old. They all go through those I know everything and in one ear and out the other. Part of growing up and trying to become independent. My 19yr in college now will comment on some of his actions in the past and say I was so stupid I dont know what I was thinking and has apologized for some of his behavior when he was younger. I always tell the youngest (when one of the older ones get into trouble)Now remember that Brandon .He smiles and nods his head.But he will do the same thing they will. I do have to say the 4 boys were not as moody as the my girl was not saying they were easier (well a little)they just had a different way of rebeling I guess. But the good thing is it is a faze and it will pass some fazes take longer than others.It seems like one day they are giving you grief and then they are all grown up. It is kinda like the terrible 2 and 3's but in teenage years. Last edited by 011011; 01-29-2008 at 05:07 AM. |
