Teenage daughters and their moms – perfect storm
Fathers of teenage daughters have it rough, we are typically clueless to the emotional firestorms that our teen daughters envelop us in. However I think it’s a walk in the park compared to the dynamics between teen girls and their mothers. That is the big league.
Some of the spirited conversations (that is understating the reality by a mile) that I’ve heard between my teen girls and their mothers melts the paint right off the wall. I have to leave the room or my head will explode. These “conversations” feature spectacular recriminations and no survivors by the end of the conversation. It’s akin to group suicide. When I think I have it rough I remember these other nuclear conversations and it’s no comparison, whatsoever.
Looking forward to hearing from the dads.
