Except perhaps one thing - as an outsider it always seems to me that teenage is a time of danger for the parents. It must be so easy to get it wrong and to antagonise the teenager for all time. What a tragedy that must be.DogLoverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08790183909033947474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462787118668544142.post-12364222172216275802009-03-17T18:33:00.000+00:002009-03-17T18:33:00.000+00:00j: I'll make sure it's a multi-seater.

I thought they were better than that.<BR/><BR/>Fire Byrd: I read your post, and you're right about the 10 years. Five years isn't enough.<BR/><BR/>Expatmum: Keep the Queenager home for as long as possible is my advice.

Absolutely everything you have written sounds like I wrote it, to tell you the truth!

I know what you are going through with that. Yeah some periods in life could do with a fast forward button on it. But there is truth in the old saying that this too shall pass.
