Today I became the mother of a TEENAGER!!!
:???: :shock: :twisted:

A 100lb baby? ouch!

:lol: Congratulations.

If you want any tips, don't come to me. I will be getting my third this year and hubby and I are seriously considering leaving home! :roll:

Congratulations KG.
The wonder continues, the magical transitions from helpless baby, to playful tot , to school child, to adolescent, and now on to adulthood.

We are two years into the last teen, and he is probably not the worst, but don't want to go there again. Ah the joy of grandchildren

But grandchildren become teenagers mrgreen

That belong to their parents :mrgreen:

Wonderful 6 years of being a spectacularly selfish gobshite...best of british.

lol kent girl. Think we need to have a whip round for yea bar bill lol

Congratulations!

I shall be there with you in a few months.

God I'm old.

Been there, done that and survived.

This is the true test of motherhood..............it too shall pass! mrgreen

And, in all honesty I have to say so far I am enjoying it. Seriously. Teenagers are fantastic. they are so sure of themselves and so convincing that they really think they know everything. they have a determination that hasn't been battered down by life experience yet. They love to argue their point and do a good job of it sometimes.

And unlike a toddler, you can walk away when they get frustrating and leave them for a few hours :grin:

Thankyou for the commiserations and encouragement... I hope her 12th year turns out to be happoer that mine was and that it's a long long time before the other two get snitty!
