Happy Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I was a good kid...happy to be an animal loving tomboy. Reasonably good in school and too shy to party. My one big rebellion was becoming a Christian at 17. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obsidian Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I was my parents' most favorite child. :Angel_anim: P.S. I'm an only. :tongue_smilie: :lol: Also, I love your avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 My parents thought I was an angel. I was sooooo not an angel. My mother seriously thought I could do no wrong. I was drinking at 12yo, sneaking out at 12, smoking regularly at 14, partying and skipping school all through high school. I was partying 3 days a week and getting drunk regularly. DH and I were both rowdy and when we got together at 18, part of what drew us together was that we were both over the partying! I have a lot of friends who were good teens, and the things I did from 12-18.....they did in college in their 18-22s. LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasmama Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Other. I used the halo on my head to hide the devil's horns. :tongue_smilie:I was an expert at not getting caught...and because I was a "good girl", no one suspected me. It was awesome...or not. Depends on how you look at it.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audrey Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I said middle. I never gave my parents any problems. I did well in school. Had untroublesome friends. Never had OTT parties. Didn't spend all my weekends partying. Never came home drunk or stoned. If I wasn't playing the piano or surfing, I was studying or reading. But... I know my mom knew there was something wrong. I knew she worried. Sometimes I wish I could have told her, but I also knew I could never bring myself to hurt her that much. I still believe it is better that she died not knowing. What's done is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisamarie Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I'm not really sure what I was. My sister was the one who snuck out, smoked, dabbled in drinking, had the wretched boyfriends. My brother was the one who didn't bother to turn in his homework, got bad grades, was lazy and couldn't care less. I always got good grades, I never smoked, didn't touch a drop of alcohol until I was 19, and then only a few sips. I wasn't allowed to date in high school, but I dated on the sly. I was more rebellious in that my parents would tell me to do something, I would look like I agreed with them, and then walk off and do my own thing. So while my parents used to say that I was rebellious, I was actually a really good kid who didn't get into trouble. The only time I remember openly defying my parents was after I graduated and I rode on my friend's motorcycle even though my parents told me not to. And when I got a tattoo at 19--I did warn them, they just didn't believe me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swellmomma Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Wolf asked my mother this when she was here this summer. According to her, I was perfect until about age 10-12, and then it all went to Hades. :lol: My mom says the same thing about me but I made it to 16. She didn't know what hit her she says it was like a bait and switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virg Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I was the perfect child. I am the oldest girl of my mom's, second girl of my dad's but in his "second family" because my older half siblings are 21 years older than my little brother and I. I got straight A's in private school and then in AP classes in HS. Swam competitvely year-round for 8 years, took piano, participated in everything at church, blah, blah, blah. I tried so hard being perfect that at 14 when my mom got cancer, I had a breakdown and ended up being depressed, anorexic, etc. I got pregnant shortly before I turned 18 and went back to trying to be perfect. I was the only SAHteenM I knew. I had twins with special needs, nursed 2 years, homeschooled them when they turned 5 years, cooked from scratch all natural foods, etc. Hmmm maybe I should lighten up, reading ABOUT myself is boring! :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKL Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Of my parents' six kids, I was the "almost perfect" one. I've just never had a lot of highs and lows. I did get hormonal eventually, but I was good at keeping my feelings to myself most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonshineLearner Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I was a good kid, minus turning in school work, which made me a "problem child" and when I got to be 16... I wanted freedom... I moved out at 17 and back in and out and back in :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Robyn Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 Problem child, although I would argue that a lot of that was the result of problem parenting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

happyhomemaker25 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I had to put middle. I was not a rule breaker and stayed out of trouble mostly, but if I thought I could get away with something I ALWAYS took the chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrogMom5 Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 I was the difficult child. Mom describes me as always into things, always asking questions and chattering to her. I still remember her saying she hoped I had a child just like myself when I grew up. I have three. :D Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
