jen3kids Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I just felt the need to share that. My oldest has had some problems, but is happy working now and is a lot of fun, most of the time. My dd is a senior, worried about college, but her brothers keep her laughing and her mind off decisions and from taking things too seriously. My younger ds is a pretty laid back guy. They all roll around together, laugh together, pile on each other and just love each other. Thankfully dd acts as a buffer between the testosterone of her brothers at times. I just love them. It will be so hard when dd goes off to university next fall and ods moves to his own place. 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angie in VA Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 What a great post. My teen ds sat next to me at dd's senior recital at college. He plays the same instrument, and after it was over he turned to me and said, "I was nervous for her." Aww, so sweet. He had played some of the pieces she included in her repertoire. I have The Best Picture of the two of them right taken right after the recital. Best picture of the two of them evah. :) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawana Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Thank you for sharing that! My oldest just turned twenty, so doesn't count as a teen anymore, and I agree wholeheartedly with the sentiment. My two are in very different places and on very different paths, yet are both people I enjoy very much. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FriedClams Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Teens are amazing. I adore mine. It's so bittersweet - they're helpful, funny, interesting... and then they leave. Kind if a rip off!!! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjzimmer1 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Teens always get such a bad rap but I've got 3 of them now and they are so much more enjoyable now than at some of the younger stages. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintermom Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I'm loving my teens, too. It's exciting to see where they interests grow and develop. There is so much potential! I can sympathize with their struggle with hormones, too, as I'm going through my own hormonal issues. ;) It's nice to have a common topic of conversation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephanier.1765 Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Teens are amazing. I adore mine. It's so bittersweet - they're helpful, funny, interesting... and then they leave. Kind if a rip off!!! I agree. Just as they become these awesome people whom you love to be around, they leave. It sucks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prairie~Phlox Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I've got three and love them as well! They are really great kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitestavern Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 My dd 16 is truly a joy. She is almost always in a good mood, has a great sense of humor, good taste in music. She does well in school and gives me no trouble. She seems to enjoy spending time with me too. Ds 14 has a great sense of humor and is the first one to come give me a hug when I'm upset. On the other hand, he totally loves pushing my buttons, and we argue all.the.time. I'm waiting for him to mature a bit and hoping that helps!

Peaceful Isle Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I love mine too 💕â¤ï¸â¤ï¸...most of the time. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxbridgeacademy Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Me too. We spend hours every day talking and when I need help they only require a little prodding to get off their butts. The best thing of all though is I not only love them I like them a lot too and we genuinely enjoy hanging out together. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
