[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I loved having teens. I think a lot of parents go in expecting teens to be terrible and at the first indication of typical teen stuff they go “Ah here it is this is gonna be awful” and they overreact and constantly expect the worst and manifest a negative circle. I’m not saying it is easy but parents of teens make a lot of their own trouble by picking battles that don’t matter, lacking empathy and only seeing what is wrong. It is great to have people in the house with real legit opinions and ideas even if they are black and white and overconfident. It is fun to discuss things with them. It is fun to watch actually good tv shows and movies together instead of animated stuff. It is fun to hear how the younger generation thinks. My teenagers absolutely helped me to be a better person by expanding my mind about so many issues. And yes I did get up at 6 for the bus but it is sweet to have people who sleep until noon on Saturday and Sunday! It doesn’t have to be miserable![/quote]

OP here. I agree. Most people on here sound like terrible parents who never have time and energy to listen to their kids and engage in preventive care, so to speak, so I’m not surprised they’re having a lot of trouble with their teens. And they act like life is terrible because they have to stay up late to enforce curfew 1-2 nights a week![/quote]

OP, you have totally jinxed yourself with this post.  You’ve totally done yourself in  :lol: [/quote]
