Do you blow on your food when it’s hot or do you just “hasafashafsas” until you can chew it? If you belong to the second group, you know what you are. When I was a boy of fourteen, my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around. But when I got to be twenty-one, I was astonished at how much he had learned in seven years.
A teenager is always too tired to hold a dishcloth but never too tired to hold a phone. Teenage is the period where you discover whether you like water or not. Some of you were kept indoors for so long as teenagers, you started to believe the lie that you are introverted.
Parenting is tough. When your child is little, all you want is for them to play alone in their room for an hour so you can have some peace and quiet. Then they become teenagers and all you want is for them to come out of their room for an hour and actually talk to you.
If you sleep too much, your parents will complain. Don’t get enough sleep, your parents will complain. If you eat too much, your parents will complain. If you don’t eat enough, your parents will complain. if you’re always in your room, your parents will complain. If you go out too much, your parents will complain. You can’t win!
A teenager is someone ready for a zombie apocalypse but not ready for a math test tomorrow. Teenagers are the most misunderstood people on the planet. They are treated like children and expected to act like adults. The main problem with teenagers is that they’re just like their parents were at that age.
Raising a teenager is hard. But being a teenager is hard too which is why our kids need someone they trust to lean on, to come for advice and to share their lives – the good, the bad and the ugly. Having a front-row seat in our kids’ lives is a far better place than every other seat. Except for a seat at the dentists’, it’s unmatched.
I know I’m supposed to be preparing my teenager for life and all, but it’s hard when they already know everything. Teenagers! Tired of being harassed by your parents? Act now! Move out, get a job and pay your way, quick! While you still know everything.
You will live to regret this decision

Sometimes you want to return to being a teenager other times you wouldn’t want to.
I miss being a teenager only because I didn’t have to pay rent
People tell me I am going through my second childhood. I can’t wait to reach the teen years again. I’m much better at rebellion.
haha, I don’t doubt that they are absolutely spot on
I’m menopausal and I’m still trying to move out! π
haha, of whose house this time?
The husband’s π
What did he do?
This time
It’s not him it’s me(clichΓ© right), I moved from my parents to his, so I don’t remember ever moving out of anywhere. I don’t know, maybe being a perpetually a teenager is a super power.
How about you find a new place and then move you both to the new place. Problem solved π
The idea of moving is a death trap, how much sh.t have we accumulated? Enough to bury an entire nation. I’ll stick to being an obnoxious misunderstood teenager in an altered reality suspended in a time warp.
Haha, I feel you. Not everyone is adventurous at heart π
Spot on! π
Are you a teenager by any chance? π
Ha ha! No. If I only knew then what I know now. π
Haha, this has been a common theme with the comments today π
Iβve heard from my daughter that many teenagers, other than going to college, have no intention of leaving home. I guess they are learning from social media that βadultingβ isnβt something they want. π
Haha, they have learned the truth very early. We made the mistake and weβve paid dearly ππ
Truth! π
Indeed
π Remembering what it was like to be a teenager can help us become better parents.
Indeed. More people should try to reminisce and learn
Being a teenager again is hungrying me π, it was much easier then. If only wishes were horses.
Haha, your focus for the day was to try not to get killed. Really simple
Great share! As always friend.
Where have you been? Iβve missed you on here
I am here, you are there.
Aww! Thank’s! Miss you as well.
Take care.
Oh thatβs sweet π
I will, you too π€
Thank you! π
Ok! Great! π€
Youβre welcome βΊοΈ
Have a great week! βΊοΈ
And you too!
“Act now! Move out, get a job and pay your way, quick! While you still know everything.”
turns out there’s no perfect kid or mother……
I used to be sad when they didn’t call. Now it’s been so long since one of them called.. I forgot her name. ππππ
Haha, shame on you π
no news is good news. πππ
I guess π€
Yes, of course.. healthy and happy and not looking for a hand out. Trust me.. i’ll hear from her when she needs me. ππ
Of course they run to you when shit hits the fan π
Totally.. πππ
Cause you run things π
honestly, I wouldn’t mind them to do so.. πππ
haha, of course you do!
and of course I’m always there! π
Thatβs so sweet π₯²
thanks a lot!!
π
You’re welcome π
I sometimes miss having my son at home as a teen. SOMETIMES! π
Sometimes πππ
