PollyOR Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 My 11 1/2 yo struggles with school. Add to that the fact that her hormones are in full swing and today was like torture for everyone involved. Remember that television commercial " ?" Well, when we finished school today I felt like I was the one that got smashed with the frying pan. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Girls' Mom Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I feel your pain....times 3. I have one that is on the second half of puberty, and two that are just hitting it. I told my dh that they take turns. So I have at least one moody, weepy child EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. But this too shall pass....right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Remember that television commercial " ?" Well, when we finished school today I felt like I was the one that got smashed with the frying pan. :ack2: That is EXACTLY how I feel right now. Today was such a horrible day with dd12, I never made it around to schooling the littles. Today was a long, long, long day. Every monday is like this, except usually I manage to school the younger kids. Today all we managed was a couple of rightstart games.

Corraleno Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 The incredible-hulk-like transformation of a 12 yo into a teenager, as interpreted by Harry Enfield: "He's... he's losing the power of rational thought.... and the use of his arms..." :smilielol5: Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newbie Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I just mentioned today, w/three different times during the month , that leaves one sane week. But, who knows when that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peela Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I dont know if I am lucky or unlucky but my dd15's hormonal issues are no where near as bad as MINE! She is sweet, easygoing, and rarely gets upset at anything, and when she does its not for long. ME however...grrrr, I can get so darned irritable as well as fly off the handle angry....although most of the time I am ok. I suspect it's a personality thing.

Matryoshka Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 My 11 1/2 yo struggles with school. Add to that the fact that her hormones are in full swing and today was like torture for everyone involved. I have TWO 11 1/2 yos, and a 9 yo. I think I have a looong road ahead of me...

HollyDay Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I have 1 solidly in puberty I have 1 on the verge I am in perimenopause Today I purchased more fish oil. And chocolate :) Anyone tried alfalfa for hormone balance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugarfoot Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Oh, my goodness. I have an 11 1/2 y.o. here, too. And a VERY high-strung 3 y.o. And my 14 y.o. son, who's my total rock, who I COUNT ON to be that rock, is apparently going through a hormonal thing, too. He's growing, and just sort of spacing out. I don't know. But jeepers, both of them? At once? And during toddlerhood with Little Miss Crazy? I swear, but the end of the day, I just want to be alone with my 2 year old.:) He's the only sane one right now...

MamaT Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 I have 1 solidly in pubertyI have 1 on the verge I am in perimenopause This is me, except 2 on the verge. It can get interesting. Poor dh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Margo out of lurking Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 Well, if it's any consolation, I saw the title of your thread, and my first thought was, "She must have a 12 year old!" I am grateful that dd's and my relationship has greatly improved since then. I thought it was the beginning of years of hell, and it was scary.

PollyOR Posted January 12, 2010 Author Share Posted January 12, 2010 1 1/2 hours hiding out in the bathtub and now the videos (thank you!). I think I can face tomorrow. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elinor Everywhere Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 her hormones are in full swing and today was like torture for everyone involved. This thread couldn't have come at a better time.....just this minute I have been complaining/whining to my dh about my day with two 12yo kids. My dh has been out of town for a week, and normally that doesn't bother me (he's often gone), but lately.....not so good. Today both kids were getting upset for NO reason. My son was mad at me because I had the audacity to mark his math problems wrong, and my daughter is irritated right now because I asked her to take a shower and emerge.....well.......smelling clean. :tongue_smilie: I'm an evil witch for the above crimes against humanity!

Stacia Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 my daughter is irritated right now because I asked her to take a shower and emerge.....well.......smelling clean. :tongue_smilie: I'm an evil witch for the above crimes against humanity! :lol: Oh, I can so totally relate.... (And, no, I shouldn't be using the laughing smilie & should find a crying one instead, but this thread has cheered me up today -- just to know I'm not alone out there in dealing w/ a hormonal pre-teen.) Love the links you gals posted! Will have to show those to dh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
