Hi all,

I have got 4 teenagers, 2 boys and 2 girls and obviously have a few issues i would like to offload and maybe get some opinions on!

Another mum to two teens (13 and 16). On the whole they're pretty good (so far). I'm quite lucky. But I do like to listen to other's stories, just in case I have similar issues in the future and need solutions!

Hi Jac, I'm pretty new myself and suffering from a slight acheing jaw at the moment; I now realise that it's from gritting my teeth for the last 48 hours! I have two boys and one girl and issues a plenty!! :)

Well mine are aged 17 (girl) 16 (girl) 15 (boy) and 13 (boy)
so quite near to yours Medusa!
Just trying to sort out xmas prezzies at the moment, and looking for cheap cheap stocking fillers as the eldest 3 have got the 1 expensive present syndrome that makes you want to say - no - tough - you cant possibly have any other presents. But you know you have got to get some little things. Trouble is finding really really cheap stuff, that isnt a total waste and will actually either get used or liked!
Youngest is fine and will seem as if he is getting loads, but actually his cost less than anyone elses because he isnt getting anything big!
