Yeah...but then we'd be a WHOLE lot more boring and not have nearly as many stories to tell our own children...
Yeah, but there are those of us who like boring. Boring is secure and peaceful. Lacking in drama. My friend from forever says my DH and I are boring "13 years and you still act all lovey and stuff and you never fight. I would go crazy that bored!!" "Yes, but that is why we have been happily married for 13 years and you are single - again."
By the way to quote myself here - she's available if anyone's interested!!!

ASL? lol I got a couple of buddies that are looking.. Most folks arent so smooth that they can go on their own lol.....
I have to say that when raising three teens the youngest male was our DRAMA. Sure the female in the bunch gave us a run for our money and to this day will not listen to any advice given but the youngest went through about 3 years of HELL on wheels. I wasn't sure we would survive. I think most of the drama was because they were dropped on our doorstep at 12, 14 and 16 otherwise it was because DH and I didn't know what we were doing at 21 and 22...
I am praying that with the next three we will have a better grip on things and less drama!
But I think they may have gotten their Dad's strong will so at 4, 5 and 7 can debate any topic~ Thankfully they listen and know that they need to respect Momma and Daddy and hopefully we can continue this trend.
I just realized how bad I'm gonna get it. I have the dramatic 13 yr old boy now, when he turns 19, the middle boy will turning 13, and by the time the middle one turns 18, our 1 yr old daughter will be turning 13. That is 18 years straight of raising teenagers! I'm hoping the little girl will still be an Angel. I guess having three at once isn't so bad.
Ancient Chineese curse: May have a very interesting life!
I have to chime in and to let you know.........I have 2 girls and they are both OUT OF THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The sad part, neither of them took their mother (sorry dear). A couple of things I learned, never take sides ( no matter who is right), stick to your guns, don't argue with them (they say I can put a mule to shame with my stubbornness), discuss things, I can out yell you/them, but I also thanked them for doing their chores. When they got older, mom and the 2 rats turned into like siblings. Now that was fun. When "boy friends" showed up, you make an example out of one of them. Word get's around fast.

My daughter is going thru that and she is only six years old going on 14 years old. Hubby throws in a monkey wrench and it is WWIII going on!
I do not think chocolate is going to help this time. Both are dramatic personalities and love to "one upper" each other, who could yell and scream to be heard, defiance oozing out of their ears.
Think I would sneak in something....Prozac? Nope, I don't have any kind of pills except my own.
We got boy drama here. Almost 13 years old, and a little boy one minute and a man the next. I made him to say "I love you Mommy" after buying him a new pair of shoes; shoes that were 1/2 inch shorter than canoes, and about $1 cheaper!
I drowning in testosterone here. TLC is on the TV, or the Simpsons. The little one thinks he never needs to bathe and the big one thinks that Axe is a good substitute for a shower. They both seem to think that dirty socks are an artistic touch to any room, and that the table isn't a bad place to store them either. Road rash, broken bones and smelly football equipment is standard here.
And I'm still VERY, VERY glad I don't have to deal with girl drama.
I remember me as a teenager; I should have been locked in the basement and thrown raw meat occassionally!
I have a dramatic teen, I swore I thought only girls would be like this!
He's been sooo bad lately, taking off, not being where he;'s supposed to be and to top it all off he's super lippy. As a punishment for taking off and not telling us where he was going , he is punished so he has to wash the dishes. OMG the crying he does... It's not my job, I have rights. Hopefully this is just a stage..
