To all those mum out there with kids older than teenagers; how did you survive

Prepare yourself, for I'm about to do something shocking. I'm ratting out your boys. No, not merely your boys, not even all boys in general, but every teenager in the whole world!!! :O

:O

Oh are they in SOOOOOO much trouble.

And guess what? They knew and declined to tell me. Forgot to mention that little titbit.

My friend you are worth your weight in gold.

If by chance you need a place to hide I will always make a room available to you. And don't worry about the boys, under pain of death they will not rat on you.

It is but a pleasure to serve, mon amie.

Err, minor quibble...

But I just find "titbit" hilarious. At least here, it's supposed to be tidbit. I guess a titbit would be what girls who've barely started puberty have. :P

Ah boys! What joy! I got through the teen years with my boys by reminding myself that Parenting is a job and not a life-time commitment. And you did awesome, btw, by going and sitting at your computer...Good work that! lol

A job huh, a 24/7 job that lasts until they are how old?

I probably shouldn't have driven them, but we've always worked on the principle of warned once, acted twice. So that was thier warning.

Now I promise as a mother to not give in and take them to school the next time they are unbareably late.

You are a mother forever, but only a parent until they leave home, so...until they are 19 20 21...? :-D
