Dont feed them after midnight

Oh no thats gremlins...are they the same?

i managed to shut son up other night wen he came in
he stood in door way about to start with some witty coment, and i turned to hubby and said

awe look at him, aint we clever m akeing someone as gorgeous as him,
he said, ok folks see you later

My OH had two favourite expressions when talking about my three growing up.

No.1. The first 18 years are the worst

No.2. Employ a teenager while they still know it all

He loves them really, lol.

i was told when i had my three,

smaller the child they have little problems the bigger they get the bigger the problems. how true,

but would like to alter this to

the younger the child the least exspense, the older the child, try and win lottery to keep up with the exspence.

treat yourself to ear plugs and learn to say 'whatever'

Remember EVERY tantrum your 3 year old has and every time your child has an 'accident' - you'll need them as ammunition when you reach your dotage and start doing the same things!!

PMSL Maggie!!

Mortified my nearly 17yo the other day when her buddies found my BEBO page........ I now have more hits than I ever had and a few new friends much to her dismay!!

love T.x

Teenagers - very useful if you don't know something because they know EVERYTHING.

How to shut a teenager up/gross them out:
Inform them that they haven't invented sex - you and their dad did and you're still practising!!

For those of you with teenagers:-

Hang on in there, if you got the first bit right they will come back to you as loving reasonable adults - well for most of the time anyway, lol.

Had all the usual problems,(and more) with my three, but now we are as close as I could ever wish for, and I wouldn't swap them for anything.

Well, I remember my mum shouting up the stairs...'will you turn that rubbish DOWN!'

I found myself sshouting the same to my own daughter...but then finished with 'OMG I am turning into my mother! EEEK'

Loser.This is the only thing you have that is not on tick and it leaks!

some good points there teresa

were we all different as teenagers or i have just forgotten acting like that!
