Tell me it gets better

[Nutlesssquirrel]

I'm losing it. I'm a parent of 3 teens of equal complexities. One with body dysmorphia and controlling gf, one who's mates are into ketamine and youngest who's asd, night owl and PS4 gremlin. Tell me - life will get better and they'll rejoin the human race

I keep getting told it gets easier but unfortunately I’m in the thick of it myself my youngest child 13 sleeps all day and falls out with everyone one of my twins is a really good kid and no problem where the other twin is adhd and an absolute nightmare I’m struggling more now than when they were babies there all girls and I’m on my own with them ! Help ha x

I also have 3 teen boys. We are from a 'naice' family, lovely area, kids are at public school. However my oldest has just been done for drunk driving (only a smidge over, but still). About to lose his licence. The next has ADHD, smokes weed and argues with me almost continuously. The youngest is 13, he still quite sweet but is getting arsier daily and steals food and hides it. His room
Is gross. I've completely had enough.

Bigusbumus hang on in there it’s so tough all my friends have smaller children and look at me like I have three heads when I tell them I’m heading for the nut ward ! My eldest twin is driving me to an early grave expelled from school for cannabis goes out with the local maniac and room is absolute squalor has no respect for the whole family and we’re all coming to heads over her ! Youngest twin is an absolute star they’re 16 and I swear this year has been the worst year I’ve known to parenting x my 13 year old is pretty good but a major worrier x people tell me it gets easier but I’m wondering when I can’t sleep when eldest ones are out till late. Currently searching for books on how to bring up teenagers we have had a couple of scuffles and now I’m trying the more relaxed approach ! How hard is it when things aren’t under are control anymore 😩? I wish u good luck
