[quote=Anonymous]I had my oldest at 30 and youngest at 41, and, really, there's not a huge difference in terms of the teen years. There's a couple of tough years in that stretch with almost any kid, then they start to become human again and, of course, just as they're becoming enjoyable and interesting people, they go to college. Actually, in some ways it's been easier to have teens in my early 50s than it was in my mid-/late 40s. I can't tell how much of that is attributable to my having gone through it before and thus not being so anxious this time around, but I also think some of it is that as I get older I don't take things so personally. Oh, and even the healthiest marriage will be tested by rearing teens. [/quote]
