    I don't know. It was sheer hell. Sometimes I wish I hadn't survived.

      So there is a light at the end of the tunnel?
    • Wakko
      It's a living death.
    • Archie Bunker
      That tunnel lasts until they're 30.

    12 is easy. My daughter is 16 and she's a bitch. But, I still get a hug every once in a while, albeit, when she wants gas money. Gotta take what you can get.

      I'm scared of 16 years old....boys, driving, etc.
    • Archie Bunker
      Boys was my big one, obviously. Threaten to squash his head in the vice and word gets around not to f*ck with her dad. :)

    My own? My child's? My grandchild's? Prayer! Lots and lots of prayer! You may want to seek advice from her school counselor or a teen parents' support group! I'll pray for her. And you.

    I agree, teens are very difficult. I commend you for reaching out and searching for a solution to ease the pangs of adolescence. You are obviously a loving mother. The Bible advises us to develop and strengthen the quality LOVE. Love is patient, kind, does not become provoked, bears all things, endures all things (1 Corinthians 13:4-8). We can ask God to grow this quality within us through sincere & specific prayers. (Galatians 5:22,23) All of your hard work will pay off very soon.

      She just turned 14 and not improvement. It's harder in COVID-19, but she's still my baby :-)
    • Linda Joy
      Aw! I didn't raise a girl, but for me it got harder when he was older. Just remember grandkids are your reward for weathering the teenage years! haha

    Oldest was pretty easy, other than being much moodier at that age. Middle child was much easier than he had been prior, and the youngest isn't there yet. It might be just the difference between boys and girls. Girls are more difficult as teens and boys are more difficult as 8-10 y/o's.

      Girls get worse as they get older. They're not your little sweetheart anymore. :(
