Title: Is it me or .....
Post by: duggs on 10 September 2011, 20:39:52
Why is it the moment I even approach my texting 15 year old daughter...she automatically thinks I'm gonna have a go/moan at her !

Before I even get a word out she goes on the defensive.  Jeeeeez !

I always remember a sign I saw hanging in a shop years ago.
"Employ a teenager while they still know everything."
Pretty much sums it up IMO.

When my daughter used to get into a strop I used to call her Kevin, this seemed to calm her down a bit as she didn't like being compared to him.  ::)

She's now 23 and I could not have a better daughter.

To me you can't beat family life and I love it. The highs with children seeing them grow and develop and their personalities form far outweighs the lows, like the stroppy arguments, sorting out when their in trouble etc.

Still look on the bright side, only 50 years to go, as I've heard the first 65 years when you have a child are the worst.  ;D ;D ;D

TEENAGERS!

Tired of being hassled by 
your stupid parents?


Act NOW

Move out, get a job, 
pay your own bills....

Do it now while 
you still know 
EVERYTHING!

A friend of mine with two teenage kids used to have a copy of this on his kitchen wall, as soon as they got into a strop with him, he just used to tell if they didn't like it then take the advice on his notice.  ::) :o :D
