My youngest is entering the teen phase soon, although I think he's there already...
My oldest is out of the teen zone but still very much in the phase of hormones... or it could a girl thing.
I honestly cannot recall going through this phase with that much upheaval where my parents were concerned. I think it was within me, betweee me and myself and among school mates mostly but it wasn't too rocky a period, quite uneventful I think... or did I have it too much under control. Hmmm ???
The good thing is, they are talking to me; I won't always call it a conversation all the time, it could be one way (either way) too.
They get angry, so do I (I am allowed aren't I...I think the rule books says so ) but I keep it going when they think it's the end of the world, like there was no explosion, and sometimes I behave like there was no battle and they can be baffled by this but I think they are getting used to the idea. There are moments when they weigh it by, that the battle between us was stronger just by the length of my silence.
I will survive !
