teenage angst..oh and like its a picnic for me

I have come to the conclusion that blogger hates me, yeah im getting parinoid and taking it personal, apparently now i dont follow any blogs! unless i log off and back on every time i refresh, and i can reply to comments on my own blog but only when it chooses to let me! at the moment its choosing not...goddamit im being dominated by blogger and im about to go switch on its ass...i will not be beaten.

My son announced yesterday that he doesnt see the point in taking any more of his exams this summer because "dad says i can can go work for him" oh did he, well thats just great, is this the same dad that makes you and your sister promises and maybe one in ten times might keep them? is it? is this the same dad that didnt turn up last Saturday to your rugby match when he promised he would?

Do i say that? no, im trying very hard to not run him down, he is there dad after all, and of course they worship him because he doesnt follow the rules, he treats them as his mates (when he actually spends time with them), me im the horrid parent that keeps them to a routine, gets on their case about homework, makes sure there eating well etc...

Long, stressful talk later with said wanderful dad he agrees to tell our son that he cant work with him and he must sit his exams and go on to college as he previously wanted to...and why do i have this horrid feeling im going to be the worst person in the world...because of course as my son tells me "you enjoy ruining my life" oh the joy of teens.

    Mine must have a jump on the teen angst or something--he's already sure that I gave birth to him just so I could ruin his life. Seems like a lot to go through for the minor reward of ruination...

    They must be "improving" blogger again--last time they did, everything sucked.

      oooh ooooh i can comment, i have been through settings but couldnt see anything, but fingers crossed i got up this morning and all seems back to normal...hopefully it stays this way.

      Yes they do seem to start the teen phase early these days, my daughter seems to be hormonal and i have a feeling she is going to be worse than my son!

    Ah yes we live to ruin the lives of our children, it is our only goal in life and we're not happy unless we're making them miserable lol. As if we have nothing better to do. Sorry you're having to deal with unruly teenagers, but you're not alone.

      Yep its true, i think its only fair we should make them suffer as they do us lol

      Oh after speaking with friends that have survived the teen phase i feel comforted knowing that they are mostly all the same lol

    My oldest is not quite there yet and already thinks her mom knows nothing. Looking forward to all the good things to come.

    Sorry about blogger, that was happening to me with the blog roll yesterday.

      Thanks kiwi, my aunt did say something similar to me..its just sometimes so difficult to get through but its good to know that anyone with teens or who has had them can get it.

      and yeah dads that are not on the same page just doesnt help
