Especially BRITTANY'S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Especially hers for everytime she says.. I wouldn't NOT let my kid do that. I can't believe you let them get by with that. I wouldn't do this or that. When I have kids they aren't gonna do blah blah blah. Because we all know that they will do it ALL to her.

Okay this is my rant and vent. I am sorry that it sounds mean. But that what you get when you have an almost 18 going off to college in a month and half that picks on a 10 year non-stop like she is 12 and then you have a 14 year old who tells you HE isn't sure there is God all this at 10 o'clock at night~ I am

mckayleesmom replied: Mel...I was just like that. You should have her go read all my posts on Mckaylee...

Teesa®© replied: DS has dug holes in his walls, written on them with permanent marker, crayon, pen, pencil, you name it. I have freaked out, wigged out, yelled, screamed, and he still does it.

I've told him that I can't wait till he's old enough to move out into his own place, because I'm going to HIS place and write all over HIS walls with permanent marker and see how HE likes it!!

Probably not the most adult-like thing to say, but I think we've all BTDT at some point with our children. I've told both of mine that I hope their children are JUST like them.

And, if they're not, I'll BUY them markers, crayons.............

You know sometimes I think they get together and plan things to say/do to drive you crazy and I am convinced Tan and Tay do it over the phone when we aren't listening! YOu know I can arrange for Brit to meet some REALLY bad kids in Texas!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: I am so with you today, Mel. I'm not going to survive Maddie's teen years.

grandma replied: Tanner's Mom,
Actually chances are your wishes will come true. Everytime my grandkids are really bad to my adult kids; I secretly snicker

That's awesome

jcc64 replied: Mel,
My 15 yo was sleeping at a friend's house the other night, and he and 6 other kids snuck out to go to a party in the woods with a bunch of older kids. They got caught when a cop pulled them all over b/c there were so many kids in the car. All this time, the mom whose house it was thought they were asleep in the basement.
I raised my kid with boundaries, limits, etc...But they are gonna test the limits at every opportunity. It's never a cakewalk, that's for sure.
And Mel, not to get too philosophical or religious, but it is absolutely age appropriate to question the existence of God at your dd's age. It's a predictable stage of cognitive development, and I assure you she'll come around to embrace your family's values eventually. In the meantime,

My2Beauties replied: Yeah I ask my mom if I was that bad as a child to deserve what I have gotten back? She just laughs hysterically at my question...but I'm serious

BAC'sMom replied: LMAO

Must be something in the air!

TANNER'S MOM replied: Thanks guys I am glad I am not the only one~! I know we all have our days and mine was Friday!


Jcc, yes I guess it's okay to question God, but do you have to do it in the middle of a family crisis

I am sorry you teen tested you too! I know I have a hard roe to hoe b/c I can't can't how many times I sneak out to go to parties!

Lord have mercy on me!
