JFSinIL Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 My formerly sweet 12-yr-old won't turn 13 until May, BUT she is exhibiting all the teen symptoms of moodiness, snarkiness, etc. Sigh. Come May 11 I will have twin 17-yr-olds, a 15-yr-old and a 13-yr-old. And they are now ALL taller than me!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamaT Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'll be interested to see how you fare. In three years I'll have 2 13yo, a 15yo, and an 18 yo! Just WOW! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenn- Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I have a lot of years before I get there, but the thought of 4 teenagers is enough to send me screaming from the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I am impressed that you're so sane. I never had more than two teens at once and even that nearly drove me nuts. The thought of four at once...more frightening that a horror flick! The groceries...the hormones...the driving lessons...the laundry...the list never ends.

Remudamom Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Ladies, ladies, teens are wonderful. Last year we had five, but oldest son is now 20, so there's only four! Teens are great, they can run errands, fix meals and do the laundry. They have the most unique view of the whatever is going on, and they are good company. So far every age our kids have been is my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I agree that teens can be wonderful BUT I wasn't prepared to have them be so much work. When the kids were all young, we went to the park to meet up with their friends. The kids paired off, the moms talked. Now every teen is going in a different direction and either *I* am driving them or I'm sitting in the passenger seat while the teen learns to drive. For me, that is more stressful than strapping little kids in carseats and running errands. And when they were little, a store trip meant they might whine for a treat. Now they treat ME- we'll be shopping and they'll casually mention things like learning a friend thinks she's gay. I wouldn't trade these years for anything but I also like that my teens came two at a time instead of all four at once. We got through the older two (raised and out of school and living on their own) and have a break before these next two start dating, going to college, and stuff like that.

StaceyinLA Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 13, 15, 17 and 19. Soon though, I'll be down to three (19yodd will be 20 in June). The worst part is that I will have THREE teenage girls DRIVING in 13 more days!! YIKES!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ria Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 We currently have five teens (19, 19, 16, 14, 13), four boys and one girl. They are lots of fun. Ria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
