Teenage Drama

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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

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!

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  Interpretation, she is sullen and withdrawn.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 [...]

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 [...]

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, [...]

Let me know if this sounds familiar.  Our 16 year old teen, with braces, had them tightened this past Wednesday.  All of a sudden this 2 sport, tough chick, varsity athlete, sullen on a gracious day, and a cannibal towards her family on a normal day, was reduced to a sniveling wreck. For two days [...]

It should be happy Friday but the resident teenage insecurities, troubled moods, and continuing hostilities towards families members seem unaware of the fact.  It’s business as usual Teenage girls angst, mood swings, and anger pay no attention whatsoever to the calendar, peripheral good new, happy tidings or other unwanted good news. Nonetheless this father soldiers [...]

Well, my daughters are consistent.  As brutal as they are to their families (virtually a reign of terror) they are as tough on themselves.  For all my daughters being a handful they are excellent students as well as student athletes.  No matter, they routinely pronounce themselves idiots and unfit to survive in this world, and [...]
