Why did no-one warn us about teenagers???
Oh, you DID warn us!!! We just didn't believe you then!
We do now!!!
Just as well I'm part of a team.....good cop/bad cop!
Thankfully when I'm having a bad day, where everywhere I turn there is a teenage boy or a nearly teenage girl saying "I want" or "can I", there is my trusty partner, calm and in control if the situation.
Likewise, when he's stressed and overworked and his patience is worn to a thread, I seem to be able to step into the breach and keep us out of the "worst parents in the world" corner.
I want a manual!!! There should be a manual!!!
Today I am grateful that I'm not doing this on my own, and a take my hat off to all those who are.
It's not an easy job, and, even though plenty people tell you that, you never really believe it....till it's too late!!!
And, of course....I wouldn't have it any other way. They are well worth the effort.....Please remind me I said that the next time I'm at my wits-end!!
Gratefully yours.
