Hi stopping in from Brighton Mum-Teenage Angst.

I soo know what you mean. I just read How to Have a New Kid by Friday (sorry don't remember the author) and thought . . . WTH? Where was this book when my boy was small? Some of it is plain common sense and others was kind of eye-opening. The way you parent has a lot to do with the way the child grows up. Hopefully, I've done a few things right. But my boy had basically the same response when he found out I was reading the book! Funny how they think they are perfect.

I better get this book now, then. Princess Nagger...

I better get this book now, then. Princess Nagger acts like 6 going on 30 sometimes, so I can only imagine what the tween and teen years will bring.

I feel a little scared... I have about twelve 10-13 yo girls in lessons at the moment. Might be time to start wearing my combat boots to lessons!

It's not just daughters. I seem to be the target for teen son's anger lately.

Trigger's coming home?
Let me know how that goes; I'll be in the same boat soon.
So it's still OUR fault if they're not good with their anger? I can't take any more guilt.

"What are you reading, you Psycho? You're not reading that for me! Are you????"

Send my daughter home and tell her to quit talking to you like that!!

Seriously ... this sounds just like my daughter ... except I get "retard" more often than "psycho." She love me. I know it.

I do believe there's a lot of mileage, Liz, in the fact that girls and women are generally conditioned to be conscientious and to 'fit in'... And I grew up believing that if I was a nice person and worked hard, that I'd be rewarded in some way - And then we learn life's lessons and the office isn't generally that kind of meritocracy, is it?

I think it'll be a useful read, and one we might learn something from, definitely - I hope you'be got your hard hat out, and your lovely little 'me-room' insulated against the Rigors of Trigger, my dahlink! xox

I'm pretty skeptical about these kinds of books. I believe that there's a lot of s--t inherited that even model parenting doesn't get rid of. Who modelled being irrational, rude, thoughtless women to my kids? Not me or their dad! They are who they are, and they'll (hopefully) outgrow it just like their older sister did. In the meantime, I fluctuate between not pulverizing them by putting my head under the pillow and screaming AND calming and peacefully giving them up to God. I need some heavy drugs and booze, man!!

Thanks for being on this tour, Liz!

I love the passage you quoted. Moms and daughters have a unique relationship, that is often turbulent, particularly during the teenage years. Having some perspective can be invaluable!

so, it's worth the read? do my girls still stand a chance?
