| Just you wait Light. Yours are young and innocent yet. Wait 'til they become teens or "young adults" as they are called these days. Whole different "ball game". Boyfriends and girlfriends and the music they listen to amongst other things. |

OH I know it's coming. Sooner than I hope too.
Yesterday I dropped my girls off at school and when I went to hug my 8yr old she walked away. I made her come back and asked where my hug was and she kinda' slumped over and muttered, "Not here, Mom."
Here was my response.
"Oh no you dinnit!" And I grabbed her, hugged her, and said super loud "I LOVE YOU, BABY DOLL!"
Her sister thought it was hysterical.
And to top that I was at the store and they were being obnoxious and I told them to stop it cause it was embarrassing me.
They said, "So."
"Okay, you asked for it." I said. Then I did a three-quarter shimmy walk through the rest of the store. They begged me to stop the entire time because people were looking and that I was embarrassing them.
After that they've been well behaved.
Granted handling younger kids is easier, I have several friends with teens and just seeing their situations - WHEW! I know it's coming, Irish. I do know that. The best I can do is raise them right and guide them through the harder parts of adolesence.

| Sounds to me like you will do a good job Light. I try to do my best with my teens and hope for the best. Good kids but it is their dad who embarrasses them not me. My eldest, he always embarrasses her in front of her boyfriends. She likes to bring them over when he is not around. |

LOL. My father use to do that to us when we were younger. Once he opened the door just as my bf was getting ready to kiss me goodnight. Awkward. He just stood there smiling and said, "Don't mind me. Carry on."
I got a handshake and a call you later which the guy never did! So I can relate with her on that note!

| Thankfully for us, we have passed that stage. Our sons are 33 & 30. Our younger was a real PITA when he was younger. Now, however, the tide has turned, hehe. Believe me, most wild kids grow up to be conservative parents. |

I have 3 little ones under the age of 10, but hear nightmare stories from friends who have teens.   
I agree, one has to do thier best in raising them and lots of prayers to boot...  
Hmmmm.... now, I wonder what PITA stands for....
