My daughter is 8, but my old housemate had a teenager. She was 16 - 19 while living here.

It was the hour long showers that bugged me as much as anything else. And then she'd blame everyone else for making her late.

I'm so glad that her drama is someone else's problem.

Huh 3.9GPA seems she lucked out there Just kidding
I have a 19 going on 30. I completely agree with the sending you to your grave LOLOL

Mine is 19 and 14. The 19 year old still has not gotten her driver's license. The 14 year old said she can start her training this summer.

They are both good kids. Getting good grades in HS and college.

Neither of them have shown much interest in boys. The one is too busy with college to have a relationship and the other is certain that she isn't at all interested in the way teenage boys behave, same as her older sister. I told you they was smart!

Same here. Mine is 13 months and already has a little attitude, she gets that from her mom.

All I can hope to do is teach her right from wrong, how to make beer, how to drive a stickshift and above all else...keep the guns cleaned.

I have a 3 year old that is packed with as much drama as a 16 year old. She is a little firecracker. She keeps her 6 year old brother in check. When the teenage years come I think I will be brewing a lot more as I will be drinking a lot more.

Raised 2 girls, 21 and 19 now. All I can say is that the years between 12 and 17 were frightening for a variety of reasons. Starting around 12, they tend to believe that they know everything and aren't afraid to let you know that. So, lots of arguments especially with mom. Older one didn't have much interest in school for anything beyond the social aspects, while the younger one cared greatly about her grades. Both had their share of mean girl and boyfriend issues.

Around age 18, mom and I suddenly got smart again in their eyes and things are now good (they were never really bad just challenging).

Thank god this isn't a pic thread.

I have 2 daughters ... the oldest is 9. I think she hit the teenage years early. Good grief!

I had a friend with a daughter who got 'busy' often and he had to continually explain to her that she wasn't ready for motherhood.
He once told me, "with a boy, you only have to worry about 1 d*ck, with a girl, you have to worry about ALL of them"!

Never forgot that one.

 

[day_trippr]

When the wife and I were sprouting kids I lived in fear of dealing with a girl, being totally unqualified to deal with pretty much anything to do with them, and knowing damned well what challenges boys put on them. Aaaaand the wife has six sisters, while my parents had one of each, so I figured I was genetically doomed and would spend the next two decades plotting fool-proof ways to take out any male that even looked at my daughter(s).

Fortunately, the universe caught a break and we had boys
Those I get. And if one needed a Come To Jesus meeting, I could handle that.

Mini-chicks? No way - I can barely relate to the wife...

Cheers!

I've one that's 23 just out of college, the other 19 just started college.

I just started homebrewing.

Coincidence? I think not.

Mine are 10 and 11 years old. I don't sleep well

 

[Beernik]

Just got back from a birthday party. My 8 y.o. daughter and her three BFFs at a swimming pool. I'm dreading the day they all hit junior high. That's all kinds of mischief just waiting to happen.

My only daughter out of 6 children is in her late 20's...if I remember right. We had the same number of children as my parents,same age spread & same ratio of boys to girls...& in the same order. Sharon & I also gave the first grand child on both sides. Boy,was her sis miffed. Although I was taken aback when she saw AJ in his crib in the hospital & said he was hung like a horse. Then she gives me that look...I then knew her & Sharon had been tellin' stories on the playground.
Anyway,my daughter was sure to be the death of me in her teen years. She wrecked my '93 Probe SE tuner...after I just got it painted a Guardsman blue with Pearl flake in the paint. I was friggin hacked...till I found she was in the hospital & they needed my sig to proceed with treatment. I was shaking so bad I couldn't sign the bloody thing. I guess my heart gave me away that time. But she always was a smart lil one. She was some 18 months or so when Ford had transferred me to Cinci. We were in Sears heading for the pic thing for her. We walked through the little girls department & she sees a dress she likes,& in her size! She scarffed it & held on for dear life,looking at me with "the look". Damn they learn quick...You guys simply do not know what you're in for! Wish my son was home from work...I think I need another beer....But I will say this. I must admit,that in my advancing years,I miss my babies. It tears at my heart strings when you guys or something on youtube reminds me of my dear little ones. so cute,innocent & full of hope. and remember this one inportant fact...that daddy is God in the eys of a little girl! Let alone those little boys you'll be teaching to build tuners,brew beer,etc. Cherish them while you may. They grow up so fast,then gravitate toward mom. You are then crap & will loose every argument. Trust me,I know.

Crap my step daughter just turned 12 and curiosity of this thread got the best of me. At least I know I am not alone.

 

[Beernik]

I have to say the two things about my 8y.o. that keep me up at night are:
1. This year she had to buy a special valentine for a boy in her class.
2. I started drinking when I was 12. How do I keep her from drinking at 12?

Probably, give her an IPA... She'll look at you like you're crazy for drinking that bitter stuff, and hopefully swear off booze for several more years ;-)

I'd think an epic sour would be the pinnacle of aversion therapy. Especially for virgin taste buds...

Cheers! (hell - I wouldn't even drink one of those! )

I have a 19-yr old daughter. She is completely independent. College, car, FT job, we have zero involvement. She's amazing really.

I have college-aged boys, but I was amazed at the thorough brainwashing that they got at school concerning drugs, smoking and alcohol. I honestly think it kept them from starting early.

I started drinking at about 14, but my kids were about 17 before they got into it. Even then it was fairly mild. Nothing like I did when I was that age.

One thing about teenaged boys. They're not too bright. I caught them almost every time they imbibed.

PP, You would be there in a heartbeat if she needed you. Us parents are like that.

This is EXACTLY how my 16 year old will be in 3 years I am sure. She is very independent right now as it is. She is really an amazing little girl! One of the most thoughtful and compassionate 16 year old girls out there. I really am very proud of her! She is playing Softball, captain of the Cheer squad and a 3.9 gpa student. AND she takes time out of her schedule to take some of the "not so fortunate" "slower" kids out to lunch and just make them feel like they matter when so many just pass them over! She really is a Diamond! I cant complain too much. Now if I can just get her to clean her F^( k!#G ROOM! LOL Like that is ever gonna happen.....

I left my glass of Palette Wrecker sitting on the table as I checked the grill the other day, and my 3 year old daughter stole a sip. When I walked in all I heard was "ummmm it's good".

Yeah, maybe I should set aside a Cuvée René. Something off the deep end with ropy flavor would be best.
