Can anyone tell me this?

I might have expected irresponsible, irratic behavior from a rebellios teen. But no, if the world were filled with people like my 17 year old, we'd all be in darn good shape. She is truly exceptional that young woman. 'tis the 44 year old that is giving me gray hairs.

Plan B sounds good, but can I just shoot the alien into outerspace until this is over?

LT - I agree completely!!!!

My 18 year old daughter is more mature than my WH!!!

Maybe we should shoot all the aliens into outerspace! Then they, and we, can live happily ever after!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/pfft.gif" alt="" />

Some people just don't get it, they don't get it that they don't get it.

I had the right to remain silent.......but I didn't have the ability.

haha - reading what you posted made me literally laugh out loud.

You give teenagers more credit than is due! I can say this rightfully so, having turned 20 a mere month ago <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

My #2DS is 18 and one of the most responsible people I know. Tons more responsible than his brother was when he was in high school. Even those DS is much like his father, he is much more mature, communicates better and treats his girlfriend wonderfully. He's the kind of kid that yells at me because he thinks I drive too fast. Nature or nurture? I don't know. It's just all came together in this young man.

Too bad WH isn't more like his kid.


Grapes are versatile. Grapes can be sour, sweet, sublime as wine and fabulous even when old and dried out.

Me: BS
XCH: Clueless
2-DS: Bigger than me
1-DD: Now also bigger than me!

5/6: Personally served CH with divorce papers
6/6: CH F? wants to time to see if M can be saved
7/6: FCH reenters our lives to work on marriage but secretly signs papers to start divorce...what's that about?
Mediation set for November
Final dissolution in January 2007.

'Cos they're in better control of their hormones?

I swear my 17 year old nephew and 15 year old DS are!!!!


I never had to take the Kobayashi Maru test until now. What do you think of my solution?

Well, I have two 19 year olds and one is very responsible and the other is, well, less so. And they're identical twins! Go figure!! The 18 year old daughter is pretty darn responsible, but I think comparing teenagers to WSs is apples to oranges. Or not. LOL!!

Shoot the WS into outerspace? I want to be the one that builds the contraption to do it, make a bunch of dough on it, retire early and move to Hawaii. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

(Fox I cracked up too at your comment. Hilarious!!)
