You know you have a teenager when, with less then 3 weeks left in the school year
a new school tie has to be bought cos he lost it.

eviltwin · 16-05-2012 9:49am

My wonderful teenager daughter has asked me if she can do some volunteering with me during the summer :eek: Shocked is not the word. I expected a summer of lie ins, tv, computer etc. Really impressed with her, its good to see some of the banging on I do at home is rubbing off

My daughters brain MRI came back clear.

To say I'm relieved doesn't cover it.

Been there with a bone cancer scare. Spent a few long days waiting for the results but fortunately all clear. It's an awful shock to the system.

My youngest is finishing up 6th class, I mentioned that soon there would be no more art on the fridge after 10 years of always having something on it. When I got up this morning they had both been up before me and drew pictures of me and them in crayon and stuck them on the fridge, I was in floods of tears.

Same happened here with a bone cancer scare for my daughter when she was 6. Turned out to be osteomyletis!!

Scariest 2 weeks of my life at the time:(

Daisy M · 17-05-2012 7:33pm

I am laughing now but I felt like crying earlier. I got what appeared to be a text from my daughters principal saying there was no school tomo due to heating issues. It was written really formal with apologies for late notice and request to text back and confirm we received the text. I was delighted as lie ins have been few and far between in the last few months between work and lots of things on. I have a bit of a cold too so am really tired. So text back I did and up comes my 12 yr old daughter laughing. She had gone into my phone and changed her name to that of the principal and sent the text. She was in the dog house with me and her younger sister who had read the text and thought she had no spelling test.:)

I know when my 7 year old was diagnosed with diabetes I wanted to hide and cry but had to stay strong, she has a 50% chance if long term complications, blindness, kidney failure, limb loss, heart problems and a higher risk if stroke. When her eyesight went funny I was worried it was the start of something worse. When we were told she was diabetic it was a relief I thought it was leukemia, she was going into a coma.

Her first period started 3 days ago. 2 hours after we arrived home from Italy and now her blood sugars are running high.

Always something to keep us on our toes....

He rolls up on his skateboard and she grabs her rollerskates and off they go....

Daughter spent ages staring at me,and then announced,
"no offence,but 40 years is a really really"( she paused for effect) "really long time.Think about it."

Still don't know whether to laugh or cry.
I feel and look fantastic for 43(or I thought I did).....but imagine what she makes of my 97 year old neighbour!

My older lad just got a summer job starting tomorrow for the rest of the holidays

barry711 · 30-07-2012 7:53pm

I dont have kids and my parents are both dead so I live with my nanny. I sold my synthesizer a few weeks back, and after I got what I needed with the money I made, I had just over 100 euro left and could not think what to do with it. I then remembered how my nan told me a few times she would love to get a professional massage, so thats what I got her with my money. It was great to do something nice for her because to be honest I'm not the best grandson at times and she always treats me nice and is kind and caring and considerate. I could hear her crying with joy from my room after I told her and gave her a hug.

deisemum · 08-08-2012 8:14am

Yesterday my almost 17 year old son said he'll give me €50 per week towards his keep and he wont take pocket money while he's working his summer job.

The Princess Bride · 09-08-2012 5:28pm

Daughter looks gorgeous heading off to another debs- methinks I need to buy a bigger dog!

up for anything · 14-09-2012 7:50am

She didn't say anything but it's her 18th birthday today - that's enough to make me cry.

I feel so oooooooooold.

cynder · 14-09-2012 10:12am

Least they are thinking about saving money

I recently got the six foot tall, deep voiced 15 year old a kitten, this is his first pet and every time he sees him he goes into the highest pitched voice "awwww he's soooooo cute" it's adorable.

housetypeb · 10-12-2012 10:37am

Last night,as I went to put the light out and take away his book and and kiss my 10 year old good night, I asked him was he tired, he said "I'm so tired my eyelids are shutting down by themselves."

ZombieBride · 13-12-2012 12:37am

The 13 year old started a blog a few days ago, and it is adorable, he made a picture (in paint of all things, trying to convert him to photoshop) for it today saying "everyone's a star" and his last few posts have been of the same ilk.
He checks it when he gets home from school and excitedly announces "Someone from Hong Kong was on it today!" adorable.

paperclip2 · 21-01-2013 10:13pm

My daughter, who's in her Leaving Cert year, has just given me an accurate overview of Macbeth through the medium of internet memes and wanted to know if it counted as revision...:D

cynder · 22-01-2013 5:51pm

Got my daughters back her diabetic hab1c results today she was 58 or 7.4% that's the best she has been in 6 years. Delighted.

ZombieBride · 30-01-2013 8:17pm

The 15 year old just said to me and I quote "you didn't give me life I am an immortal entity that chose you as my host"

Ms. Captain M · 31-01-2013 4:03pm

My 12 year old son's class were having a "fun day" today and were allowed bring in sweets. I bought him a bag of Haribo last night and this morning he was separating them out into another bag. I asked him was he only bringing half and he said, "No Daniel wasn't in yesterday so he won't know we're having a party and won't know to bring in anything"

I gave him the biggest hug, heart bursting with pride!

Love having a witty teenager!

up for anything · 05-05-2013 6:42pm

Just about everything each of them have said or done today has made me want to cry. I hope this is just a phase because I feel like running away from home.

thesimpsons · 07-05-2013 10:11am

both my teens completed their first ever 10km runs today in good times. best bit was daughter who waited 4 minutes just before finish line for her friend so they could finish together.

The Princess Bride · 28-05-2013 4:15pm

14 year old son cleaned the fridge out and tidied it while I was at work. Wasn't asked to - just did it.

thesimpsons · 04-08-2013 8:04pm

my 17yr old regularly cleans out the fridge and eats anything and everything in it , usually right after I've spent a fortune stocking it up. but then again he did wash and vacuum my car without me having to ask the other day

titchy · 29-08-2013 7:31pm

The Princess Bride · 05-09-2013 3:58pm

Proud mom here.
18 year old got an excellant Leaving Cert,secured her place in college,sorted out accommodation and after months of unanswered job applications,has started her first part-time job!!!!
Perseverance and determination win,every time!!!

Pistachio · 15-04-2014 8:47pm

I suggested to my 17 yr old that he might do some study over the Easter. He looked at me and said with a smile, I quote, "Mum, don't worry about me, I'm destined for greater things than the average person".

Should i be worried? Or, should I go with it?

What your teen did/said today to make you smile/cry??
