Wise advice, Tara. I have a teenaged daughter. Sometimes there are rough patches, but I know when she goes off into the world some day I will miss her dearly and cry my heart out. I want to know that that time will get easier too:) Great writing!!

I have a daughter and a son. My son was actually easier in his teens than my daughter. Good luck!

Thanks! My youngest finally made it through his teens, and we are both still standing. I take that as a good sign.
