[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On TV shows the parents of teenagers look so relaxed in the mornings. Drinking coffee, eating breakfast and reading the newspaper. Their teen comes in, they chat for a few minutes, the teen grabs backpack and a bagel and off they go to school.

Compare that with my mornings trying to get a 4yo ready for preschool dropoff while not completely ignoring the baby. It’s a whirlwind!

Yeah I know, teens come with a host of other issues, but I’m looking forward to having independent kids![/quote]

You had me at "tv shows"  you do know tv shows are not real life?  I wish you luck trying to get teens to go to bed at a reasonable hour so they can get up at an unreasonable hour![/quote]

You don’t know any self-motivated teens who want to get to school on time and do well in their classes? Sure they might stay up late studying, so you have to enforce bedtime sometimes, but certainly not sneaking in past curfew and drinking/doing pot on weekdays.[/quote]
Oh my God! The cluelessness here is just astounding! The two are not excluding of each other! Kids can be self motivated and want to do school great and be sneaking and drinking! In fact, most teens want and do both![/quote]
