My husband kids that kids have terrible 8's and 9's too. I know it is only going to get worse. It seems like the attitude level has settled down in my house over the past couple months. Either that or I have just adjusted to our new normal.

I hear ya, sista - oh boy do I hear ya!

Been there done that... it sucks...
my youngest is almost 16 (and a boy) so he seems* (*key word) somewhat easier, but my girls....geez.......

I hear ya! I have a tween and there are days that I just shake my head...they will never really believe that we know how hard it is, until, like you said, they are a mom.

Oh, man, I hate growing up.

My daughter is only 9 and I thought I was in the midst of tweenage but then again I know I have a few more years. If it is this hard now I wonder what teenage children will be like.

Okay, maybe having a boy isn't so bad - M just tries to pretend I don't exist when we're at school. A touch of attitude at home, but I'm thinking the girl tween is a bit more of a challenge!

You have no idea how deep the ocean water is over here!!! My tween is the shark that ate the shark these days.

I KNOW we will have it tough with my daughter when it comes to those tween and teen years...I have already been praying for us all! I hope that you all survive these tough years ahead...no fun sometimes!

2009-10-24T18:02:03.519-07:00

Oh my I know that. You know I never truly appreciated my parents until I became one. I was kind of hoping that my kids would appreciate me sooner, but I was once them, so I know I too will have to wait for them to understand & appreciate the decisions I make concerning them. It is hard being a parent, but yet the most rewarding job ever.

Jen, I am in the exact same stage as you. She will break out in tears over the most ridiculous things. I never know what is gonna set her off. I can totally feel your pain. Ugh this too shall pass....hopefully.
