Stained article of clothing = armaggedon

Apr 23rd, 2009 by John | 1

My daugher’s favorite $5.00 T-shirt was stained in the wash today.  Had she an uzi in hand the family massacre would have been national news today.
We were all at fault in the conspiracy to ruin that T-shirt.  As she exited the home the front door exploded off the hinges with the impact of the slamming.
Serenity [...]

SAT drama

Apr 21st, 2009 by John | 0

The meltdowns and drama leading up to the SAT tests for my junior in high school made all over historical events pale by comparison.
The nastiness and self centered enough were brought to new levels.  If she could have rendered the planet extinct, she would have.  Incredible.

The food Nazi strikes again

Apr 10th, 2009 by John | 0

Our 16 year has resumed hiding “her food”.  What’s hers is hers and you take your life in your hands should you think otherwise.  She will only eat organic food, and if’ it’s been in the refrigerator for more than 5 minutes it’s no longer edible, according to her.
Anyone out there price organic food lately?  [...]

Semeters Finals: the end of life as we know it

Dec 10th, 2008 by John | 0

Both daughters had meltdowns this past week over finals, as if that is surprising.  What incredible pressure they put on themselves.
When I offer support for their great efforts my head was promptly taken off and handed to me.  “Dad, you don’t know the pressure we are under”.  “We are not smart!”.  Both girls are A [...]

Teenager at the Health club – Dad, stay away from me

Dec 10th, 2008 by John | 0

Lest her father humiliate his daughter in the health club by acknowledging her existence.  The loss of face and stature among her peers would be incalculable.
The unspoken message here is, “Dad, hurry up and pay for the expensive health club, and then hurry up and go away.  But before you hurry up and go away, [...]

Teenage daughters, blissful times

Dec 1st, 2008 by John | 4

Life would be too easy without teenage daughters.  My 17 year old woke up this morning with a head cold, and pronounced it my fault since our humidifier chose not to work in the middle of the night.
My 16 year old is preparing to go to work at Target and pronounced, again, how she hates [...]

Independence, at what cost?

Nov 17th, 2008 by John | 0

I want to hear from any other father out there with 2 driving teenage daughters. Please explain to me how you apportion out one car between the two.  The way it works in our house is whichever daughter slays the other daughter, on that day, she gets the car.
There is not negotiation, whichever girl emerges [...]

Slight haircut equates to end of world, again

Oct 28th, 2008 by John | 0

We should have all seen it coming.  Our very, very particular 16 year old asked her mother to trim her hair a couple of inches, by the way, also layer it slightly.
All this was done with the hair being wet, and in truth it looked very subtle to all, including our daughter, until the next [...]

What’s yours is mine, what’s mine is off limits to the world

Oct 26th, 2008 by John | 1

Yes, teenage daughter number 2 does not like to share, in fact never has.  She does not have a sharing problem, that would imply some sort of sharing in the past which no longer occurs.  There has never been any sharing by daughter #2.
She has taken to hiding “her food” in the outside refrigerator, hiding [...]

Competing Teenage daughters

Oct 19th, 2008 by John | 0

Add to the mix  the fact that my 2 teenage daughters not only slay their father, and fight to the end with their mother, but they compete and fight to the death with each other.  They are, literally, nothing alike.  My daughters do not look alike, do not think alike, do not behave alike.  Their [...]
