*****************TEENAGERS!!!!***************

24 Sep 2004

OK 9 yr old ... lives with her mum so we're spared that one but she's in a funny mood with us at the mo sad

next one is 7 going on 40 (must be the age easy!) and has the hormones and temper of a 14 year old. She's known as Kevin .... because "it's not faaaaaaaaaaaaaaair" and is in a permanent state of "if you want to live at your Dad's I can arrange it!"
Youngest is 4 - a delight generally but hard done to by his elder sisters and has started school this month so in a permanent state of tiredness at the moment.
Ous kids are hard done to compared to you lot though .... no TV allowed (ration of an hour a day) we don't own any computer consoles and the kids aren't allowed on the pc/internet :shock:
i'm pretty strict and if I raise my voice the kids run and hide because they know I mean business!!!!!

Venus - I can commiserate with you. My cherubs are 13 and 5.
My daughter is the 13 year old and boy does she knows which buttons to press to get a reaction. I feel at times a horrible parent as all I seem to do is say no, but rules are rules.
I am quite an easygoing mum but will not be taken advantage of, or manipulated to help her cause. Trying to explain to a 13 year old who wants to be treat like an adult, that going in a mood whenever something doesn't go her way isn't going to get her far in life, is very hard.
I suffer from enough pmt myself mad

for the both of us, so god help the house when she starts with it duel

Time to emigrate I think! bolt

I'm not swapping our eldest for anyone. I know he is going to become a teenager in 4 weeks and he still has to gain control of these big arms and legs that have grown out of no where. He makes fun of me cos he is taller than me sad

he can be clumsy and stupid rolleyes

But one day last week Ian was late getting up and was rushing to leave for work (I was still sleeping redface

) when this child called Ian back from being half way through the front door.
He had made Ians sandwiches for his lunch and packed them for him off his own back.
So I'm keeping this one but if anyone wants 8 year old twin boys I'm willing to work something out confused

Dawn I'd gladly swap our 19 year old for your twins are now aged 22 and were a doddle in comparison to their younger brother.
He's been a nightmare since the age of 14 and still showing no signs of becoming human again. Neanderthal man is alive and living in our front bedroom :!:
We politely asked him the vacate the premises before last Christmas, only for him to return a couple of months later, swearing he was a changed man. Yeah right!
If he'd been the first born, he would have been an only child. He certainly put us off having more :? lol

.... & I hand him back to his parents at the end of the day... & when he gets grouchy.
Now that is what I call perfect lol

We know how you feel. Kids are a pain but all you can do is be patient and love them. Your moody 13 year old will grow up eventually. The hormones will play themselves out and you'll hopefully have a loving daughter to be proud of. The mum/daughter relationship is usually stronger than mum/son relationship. Jades 15 year old daughter treats her much the same. One minute she hates her mother and can't stand being near her. Next she's cuddling her on the sofa.
I enjoy "easy's" cat's in the cradle song too. One of my favourites. The kids from my first marriage treat me just like that although I think I did all I could for them at the time. Only time I hear from them is when the want something. So make the most of 'em while you've got 'em babe.
