"Parenting teens is MORE – more fun and more frustration. As a parent of teens I swing between laughter and great joy and wanting to throttle someone. (I never do, but the desire is there at times).

I want to be clear that having teens is so much fun! No one told me! They were too busy moaning about all the frustrations and 'Just wait until..' predictions. Having arrived as a parent of teens I am amazed at how fun they are and the delight they bring to our home. They engage in real conversation about their views on life. Their sense of humor is wonderful and I am starting to see some parenting payoffs. This time in life is a wonderful rewarding part of parenting. But then . . . they Change!"
