[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parenting teens really sucks. But if your marriage is solid, and your husband actively parents— than yes.[/quote] +1000 just was on DCUM to ask something on the Tween/Teen forum. My experience has been that you can get a GREAT teen, and you can get a HORRID, HORRIBLE teen. I have one of each, and I see that my peer group seems to get one or the other. (and expect no sympathy or understanding from those parents who get a great teen; they think it's their parenting and not temperament) So if one of your three kids is that nightmare teen, it will take up a lot of your time. Case in point, my December was HELL and I threw everything I had into difficult teen, compromising my own health (due to anxiety, I lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks--over the holidays! My face looks like sh**). Then I looked up and saw my sweet teen was suffering from my neglect and ripping up her face and having crying jags. And pointing out that it was obvious that she came in second...OMG. However, all that being said....I am hopeful that you adopt, OP. I can't explain it....I read your post and thought, she should do it[/quote]
