Usually, I post things about parenting that involve diapering, and proud moments, and smiles, and accomplishments. I am not one to just blog away and overshare things that are deeply personal, but I will say this. I am pregnant right now, with my third child. I don't think anything is more difficult than being the parent of a teen, along with young children. The emotional turmoil, along with the physical exhaustion is almost unbearable at times. There are so many contrasting issues that all need your attention. Teens need their parents more than ever, but it is so easy for us to just let so much go that we shouldn't, out of complete frustration and aggravation. As I am in the midst of all this homonal turmoil, I feel like I am possibly in the biggest battle of my mommyhood life, and that it will continue for quite some time.....however, I'm not giving up. I may even laugh a little bit along the way. Feel free to add to these hilarious, yet all too true quotations about parenting young adults.....
Mothers of teens know why animals eat their young.
There's nothing wrong with teenagers that reasoning with them won't aggravate.
Raising teens is like nailing jello to a wall.
Giving money and power to government is like giving whiskey and car keys to teenage boys.
A baby-sitter is a teenager acting like an adult while the adults are out acting like teenagers.
Never in the fields of teenage hormones, was so much utter crap spouted by so many and regretted by so few.
Few things are more satisfying than seeing your children have teenagers of their own.
That one's for you, mom. ;-)
