My 18 year old is a little shit (ok a 6'2" shit) who thinks he knows everything and we know nothing.
Yes, it is Thursday!

Mine happened yesterday - Wednesday. Upset because we require car insurance money each week but none of her friends have to pay for car insurance. GO GET ANOTHER JOB IF YOU WANT MORE MONEY!

Mine just has that tone in his voice that makes me want to snack him. (Although not currently as he made dinner and just headed to the gym)

I had the audacity to remind her that the hundred dollars she blew through in a weekend was almost two full days' worth of work for her. Just trying to instill some real world financial lessons; i.e., you're going to have to scale down the lifestyle to which you've become accustomed because you're a high school graduate who makes $10/hr. Offensive!

Ugh. I want to ring my 16 year olds neck. And it's only the 2nd day of summer. His summer job doesn't start for a couple more weeks but he might not make it that long.

Our 17 year old got mad at me last night because I didn't take "I dunna know...sometime before morning." as an acceptable answer to my question of what time he would be home.

Ah, it must be in the summer air. My 16 year old is mad at me. Apparently, I had been criticizing her the whole drive home...she only heard the one negative-ish thing I said among a chorus of positive things.

After teaching two of them, my hair is almost completely gray under the lovely brown shade my stylist applies!

My 19 year old just started yelling on the phone. I hung up on her...lol Bet that felt good I learned how to do this very calmly as a call center rep. “Sir, if you keep speaking to me like that I’m going to have to hang up the phone.” Honestly it usually just ticked them off more because they were already at a point of no return so when I didn’t match their emotion it set them off. But, it was professional and at least it wasn’t just a cold hang up, if that makes sense.

It seems to be an epidemic. My first born is going to get put in a box under the bed if he doesn't straighten up his attitude. And my youngest has decided to attach herself to me like velcro this summer. I literally have no idea where the ones in the middle are right now but they aren't bitching at me or hanging on me, so I'm pretty much going with it. This summer will not be one that I am likely to win mom of the year.

My 16 yr old dd was mad at me this afternoon because the sun was shining or something.
She's even madder now because I was talking on the phone with a friend about something and enjoying life.
My son is lost on the playstation and dh is working nights.
My oldest may not make it through the summer.

Now I’m concerned—is the sun going to rise tomorrow?
While we are sharing breaking news, my 7 yo hates bedtime and I’m the worst for making him get ready for bed.

Lol. It won't last Around here....school ended yesterday, I've already heard "I'm bored" at least once from each kid When my boys were little, they went to daycare and the mom had 5 kids of her own. She told me the trick to getting kids to be self entertaining was have a list of chores that they could pick one of each time they said they were bored. Ha. My boys remembered that and if they were bored, they kept it to themselves.

ha ha, all of you. My DD is 35, always (mostly always) lovely to me, and I’m even crazier about her now than the day she was born. (in between, though ... I was so traumatized by her adolescence/early adulthood that I hated babies for years afterwards, because all I could see when I looked at them was “future teenager”)
