I can honestly say I had no problems with my three. We all made it through the other side. the only problem was messy rooms. We would share and listen to each other. I made sure they did sports and worked for there own money. I supported them even through their punishment. I did not remind them of their wrong doings. We have a great relationship. My kids had every right to rebel. They had come out of a strict environment where they couldn't do anything. Hang in there

The two I have left at home are 11 and 13yo girls. I promised myself as a teenager that I would never forget how it felt.

I didn't have problems with my older 3 kids when they were in their teens ..... but my youngest, a boy now 15, really really tests my patience and is the typical teenage 'rebellion'. But then again, it could be due to the single parent situation I'm now facing.....so, I have been told.

I am a single parent of a almost 15yr. old boy and a 13yr. old girl. Their dad has passed away so we have had a rough road. I try to tell myself I am doing the best I can but its hard.

I was a single parent until my son was almost 3� and then we butted heads when he became a teenager; and those DNA signatures of his dad {who never was around him/never spent any time with him} started rearing it's ugly head --- couldn't get that kid to tell us the truth if it was just a simple thing!
 OMG...I wouldn't want to have a re-do of those 2�yrs - they were horrid; but for the strength of my 2nd husband I'd not have made it on my own as a single mother---NOOOOO, he'd have worn me down and I'd have sent him off to some military academy somewhere! Now my son is 39 and has 2 step sons {11 & 13} and a son of their own just turned 2yrs old; WOW --- he's having ISSUES! And this mother just 'SMILES' that little grin and bites my tongue! KARMA - baby...it's so SWEET

Patients is truly a virtue for a single mom, and you have to have the strength in the Lord it takes to carry on, no self help parenting book could began to help me for the coming yrs of raising my children on my own. All the sacrifices and dedication you have to make on a daily basis to be a good steward over your children to see them succeed in life is priceless

If your teenagers don't make you a little tense you are not paying attention or you need to take them to the doctor because they are sick. Their job to make parents grey headed. You can tell mine worked over time at it. lol

Oh I am so sorry. It seems the real trolls seem to read the obituaries to find their next victims. I have heard that so many times. I know I had to run off more than a few when mine passed. I dread my son is suppose to buy my Grandson a phone soon and I dread all the drama that goes with that. I was back in the day where they just rang the phone off the wall and harassed you. Or you were the mean mom if you would not let the "kids" run up moster long distance bills talking to the Ex who promised the moon and did nothing. They finally catch on and give up. It hurts to see the kids suffer.

Give him an incentive
instead of battle of wills? For each day he gets up and into taxi without you hollering and being late he earns time on his phone or playing videogames |

This time though i don't have the energy to get him into another school like this and the council will put him in a mainstream school. :( Jog my short-term memory problem; isn't this the young man with special needs? Perhaps something has made him afraid - upset him - made him fearful but he's lacking the verbal skills to explain it all to you! Could you leave just early enough to ride with him {with his schools permission} to drop him off earlier then normal so you aren't stressed and your other 2 children won't be penalized/late for their own school? Just a suggestion, because I had to do this with one of my 'Special Needs' young boys; he'd started off the school year happy/content to get onto the bus and then suddenly it was a horrible struggle/battle for his grandmother {who was left to raise him on her own} to coax/bribe - try to get him back onto the morning bus! Found out that her grand son was getting bullied and the bus driver was ignoring what was going on behind him --- he was one vile - ugly human being too! |
