I was just pondering this question.  I mean seriously, could you imagine it?  Let’s start with temper tantrums carried over from the toddler years because they can’t have a cell phone and ALL of their friends have one.  Or expect them to eat as much as a small village.   There’s the hormone phase, where the boys are angry and seem to talk about and think about only one thing.  As for the girls, WOW!  I must be getting senile because I don’t remember my moods changing faster than a traffic light!

Maybe there should be a book like this, do you think that if potential parents read it that they might change their minds about having kids?  I mean there are the good things that go along with it as well.  The proud moments when your son or daughter sings or plays an instrument or plays a sport well, not to mention getting honor roll.  And if there were a book like this published, what do you think the chapters would be?  “Four easy steps to keep you from pulling your hair out”, “Female hormones and the teenaged body, preparing for Armageddon”, “Teenaged boys and hygiene” and of course, there would have to be “The final frontier, how to not seem so darn happy when they head to college”.

I joke.  I mean I do absolutely love my teenagers.  But in one year, I will have a senior, junior and freshman in high school all at the same time.  Usually when I say that I get unmitigating sympathy.  It’s OK.  I deal with it and pray ALOT!! I am happy to say I still have a full head of hair, most of my brain cells are still intact and I am not criminally insane.
