So it’s just not my daughters…..which I actually did know. A woman friend of mine with 2 daughters emailed me that her senior daughter in high school, just got kicked out 2 weeks before graduation. Ouch! It was a private, girls only, high school and her infractions included dress code violations, disrespect towards others, (big [...]
Read full post...Yes, my second daughter is in Spain, supposedly learning the language and culture. I suspect the reality is more boy chasing and dance parties, which is fine. She alternates between glad to be in another culture to very, very homesick. On the one hand she says she will be back in a month, and then [...]
Read full post...My daughter calls me from college and asked if I could find a particular garment in her top drawer of her dresser. I dutifully look and what I find are 4 checks from last summer, 2 from her summer job at a day care center, and 2 from baby sitting gigs. All totaled it was [...]
Read full post...Well, my daughter managed to pack 26 different hair and skin solutions for her trip to Spain to study Spanish. However she and her mother managed to overlook the student Visa part of the equation. Oops. The cries of outrage and distress were too much for the Skype server and it collapsed. I was told [...]
Read full post...Yes it’s true. For 2 teenage girls to share one car is several terrible things: The end of whatever flegling social life they are developing, and of course an incredible stigma from their peers.
The solution must be that every teenage girl has their own car. It makes perfect sense to me that the car should [...]
Talk about emotions in turmoil and running amok! One of my daughters just had her last day in high school and the yo yo emotions have left me car sick. Holy Toledo. The swings from Mt. Everest to the depths of the ocean are staggering. I may have to put her in quaranteen.
Read full post...One of my teen daugthers is not happy at high school, like that should be a shock to her. That then entitles her to bring the wrath of God to anyone and anything about anyone and anything. Sounds like an excuse to me!
Read full post...Our younger teen daughter, age 16, wakes up each morning in a decidedly uncharitable mood. Interpretation, she is sullen and withdrawn.
Her sister, brother, mom and dad have all learned to direct such combative statements such as “good morning” in other directions. No sense enraging the queen with such rude remarks.
I used to think her silence [...]
Our 16 year old would rather fall on the sword than share anything with her 17 year old sister, and vice versa. The 3rd family car, designated for the teen girls to share, is a full time hostage.
Each daughter claims the other has a “monopoly” on this 3rd car. Each would gladly terminate the other [...]
Thank goodness for John McCain. Finally something other than a hapless parent for our daughters to turn their boundless rage upon. The problem now is the election is over and I will default back to the punching bag for the two of them. The pain soon to resume.
A very small respite for the weary, however [...]
