    Let me date her, I'll make her feel better.

    You're not nearly as charming or witty as you think you are.

    I am dreading the teenage years. My almost eight yearold daughter as had a hard couple of weeks at school. Full of stress and her teacher is going to ask for advice on what we all can do to help. What's even harder is she is pretty smart kid academically. She tries so hard.

    My always said that as a coach , 7-8 year old girls were really hard work. He coached race walkers and used to hand them on to another coach when they hit 13 lol.

    This sounds like a very good option!!
    my husband and I are doing something similar with my stepdaughter
    ...because we won't let her sign up for two sports that conflict with practice AND game times, yet she's convinced "she can handle it".

    Why does your teenager cry?

    And is there a black market where I can sell mine?
    Let her sign up for the sports but, make her sign a contract with you that she WILL NOT QUIT and, she will also keep up on school/church/chores, ect.
    Explain that the contract is a binding form and failure to honor the contract will result in forfiture of stuff like phones, television, ect.

    I second that motion! I have 3 girls ranging from 19 to 10, I would turn into a she-wolf or something if you came sniffing around

    I have low morals, but that was too low. Pedophilia is always hilarious, right? Wrong.

    I don't have kids, and reading this just made my tubes tie themselves. lol My parents got lucky with me, I was never dramatic to the point my dad asked me if I cared about anything. I do, I just don't get riled up about anything unless it has to do with my loved ones getting hurt or screwed over.

    Oh man. Tell her to relax a little and enjoy life. Let me guess, all AP or honors classes with a need for a 4.0 GPA?

    Tell her to knock it off or one day she'll end up with mono and miss a whole month of senior year.

    Having gone though one teenager, currently dealing with another, and a third waiting in the wings, all I can say is.....

    GET OUT WHILE YOU STILL HAVE YOUR SANITY! :laugh:

    I am curious as to how pedophilia was ascertained. Scumbag profile says 18 years old, OP says teenager, but not a specific age.

    I've lived with adjudicated teen girls, now I have two of my own. One is a few weeks from being 19, the other is 14. Don't believe the hype. They are no more or less crazy during the teen years than at any other time. The house rules are still the house rules. With extra rights and privileges come more responsibilities. I'm still "the boss of you." It's not always a nightmare.

    I was expecting mayhem, but it's been fine. Way more fun than I was expecting. They help more, we can have adult conversations, I have more freedom and so do they. It's an honor and a privilege to see them turning into the people they are becoming.

    Finally, someone else who has enjoyed the teen years. I have three boys, 21, 16 and 16. Every year has had its challenges and rewards. But every has been more fun than the previous. And when you can start talking with them as adults about shared experiences? The best! :heart:

    I don't have teenagers....yet. My oldest is 10 and he's already starting with the drama. Not looking forward to it. :sad:

    Ha! I have a two-year-old and a four-year-old. Last night there were two incidents of slammed doors and screams of "You aren't my friend" in under an hour.

    Waiting for the black market website URL.

    I don't understand. Why would either team want someone who can't possibly show up as often as they should because of the conflicts? Seems like she's going to end up kicked off of one, or both, teams.

    My 14 year old was crying for the same reason, she runs XC and plays soccer. Practices we can handle, she did it last year goes from XC at 5:30 to soccer at 6:00. Games started to become a problem because of meets. This year she had to pick, her XC Coach is in heaven she gave up soccer for XC (which shocked me). However, she informed him that if she makes the HS soccer team, he will not see her for track season.

    As someone who has taught in that age group, all I can say is, I called my mother to apologize after less than a month of working with 14YO girls.

    LOL amen!

    Tell her that this is a lesson in growing up. She has to make a choice, and then live with it.
