Having weathered and survived the teen years of my own kids (my youngest, my daughter, being the most challenging here), I have only one piece of advice. It may sound cliche', but it's still prudent. Pick your battles. They're straddling that threshold between being a child one minute, and struggling to establish their young adulthood in the next. They'll swing back and forth so much that it will make you dizzy. Give them some rope...but not so much to hang themselves. Allow them the practice of deciding for themselves those things that won't be earth shattering if they make a wrong chioce, and while they're still in your safety net.<br /><br />My daughter literally turned me grey haired. She was the MOST challenging personality I'd ever dealt with. Now she's a young adult living her own life, and we have SO much fun together. If you survive their teen years, the payoff is grand! ;-)Rennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03628198694622790891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2041075455257787414.post-56273886075418438112012-03-02T09:14:01.703-07:002012-03-02T09:14:01.703-07:00Popping over from Ivey's place.

I have 2 daughters, but I can see those feelings you described translating seamlessly to parenting teenaged girls.
