Dear DD......

[cellblockMN]

I understand you are tired of being harrased by your stupid mother

You could.....

get a job
move out
whilst you still know EVERYTHING

I know, you are only twelve.....however, one day you will understand how annoying people of your age can be.....

Love it.....perhaps (after listening to JV radio 2) you could make it a poem!

and if you don't bother to call me to let me know you are home safely, you have no use for the mobile phone....

and the internet is not FREE!

Oh I feel for you, although mine did not 'turn' until she was 14, but when she did, she 'turned' in a big way.
I really did think she had abducted and replaced by some kind of alien.
She has never done things by halves!

Dear DD...Yelling at me at 7.30am because I should KNOW where you took your school jumper off does not I wil actually become psychic enough to miraculously give you the answer. Slamming the door and telling me you hate me will not make your school jumper appear either.

DD is almost 13yo. It's not a pleasant age for girls. I sympathise.

Does not mean* ...

Do the all 'turn'...??!

DD was 11 yesterday. I'm afraid.

Dear DS, if you put things back where they belonged them you and mummy would be able to find them when needed, and no your coat doesn't belong on my bed nor your shoes next to the shoe rack.

PS I love you loads despite this but I'm hoping one day you'll realise just how bloody annoying it really is.
