[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't have a teenager (yet), but I was like this as a teen (sorry, Mom and Dad).  Yes, teens are self-centered.  I didn't understand just what it took to keep the family/house running (the work my parents did just faded into the background for me) nor did I understand how lucky I was to have the amount of free time teens have.  Now I'm on the other side of things -- karma!

So your DD will probably eventually grow up to be a normal functional adult and when she complains to you how her teens do nothing, you can laugh and laugh.  [/quote]

OMG so true!  DH constantly complains about “lazy, nasty” almost 15 yr old DS.   I keep telling him that DS is a teenager and will come out on the other side somewhere in his 20s. We just have to wait it out while maintaining household rules etc.   for what it’s worth, I was a mildly  obnoxious  teenager while my two siblings very nearly broke my parents.  We are all functional adults with two of us going through the same thing with kids of our own.[/quote]
