Have two teen Dds. The mess, rudeness, demands, ungratefulness….inability to apologise or recognise their mistakes. It exhausting! Anyone else?

It’s a bit late now tbh but teens are challenging

It gets better. Teenagers can be harder work than toddlers. Or maybe it's that we are older and tired of dealing with shit, and just want a quiet night sometimes.

I mean… it’s a bit late now to send them back for a refund.Grin

Hopefully they’ll come out the other side , as they tend to do, and make it all worth it again.
