The weekend went well!!!!! There were no fights, no tears, no problems!!!<P>Other than the weekend weather sucking for watching soccer(her, 3 games on Sat., me 2, on Sun, her 1) everything went well.<P>My d wanted to have 5-6 friends over on Sat evening and I said no because we had company(not sure I want that many teenagers over at any time!). She did have a friend spend the night Sat however. So she seemed okay about that.<P>Will have to see how things shake out the rest of the week.<P>

Congratulations, Bob! You made it!<P>I, OTOH, had a teenage tragedy on my hands. My son invited his friend to stay overnight, and the two boys (age 14 and 15) decided it was fun to pick on my daughter, age 11, while my H and I went out for a cup of coffee together. We were gone less than an hour, but when we got back, a tornado had hit the house. My some was threatening to kill my daughter, the friend was playing Nintendo to get away from their fight, and my daughter was screaming and crying. <P>PLEASE GOD, LET ME KEEP MY SANITY! GIVE ME THE PATIENCE TO GET THROUGH THIS!<P>Heavy sigh.<P><BR>Of course, as soon as he gets older and mellows a bit, my daughter will be 13yo, AND very PMS-y!! OUCH!! I just hope I don't pull ALL my hair out, but if I do, I think I'll just say it's cancer.<P><BR>UUUUUGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!<P>CJ<P>------------------<BR>Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
