Has raising teenagers been difficult. tell me about it

i would definatly say i perfer the late night feedings and stinky diapers over the teen years they know everything and we know nothing lol

I am not the parent. But I find helping my parents raised teens, and turn their lives around is a very very difficult task... I however on the other hand and glad that I am doing my parent to help children grow up to be wonderful people, as well as to add onto my extended family. Now about that diaper changing.. No thanks I'd rather deal with teens... It is easier for me to deal with a teen then it is for a young baby. I get horrible anxieties around caring for children under 3-4 years old alone.... unless they are sleeping, and I have someone close by I can contact if they wake up then I am alright. I can not handle the diaper changing, and food flinging, and drooling. I am not sure why other then I get grossed out by the germ factor... On the other hand it is very strange, as I never have problems with nursing baby animals from a young age... I think it is because to me a baby cat or kitten I can understand better then a human baby...... So bring on the teens! I know how to mystify them and keep them occupied and wondering enough to stay out of trouble... Usually if you give teens activities, a way to be social and have fun. They are not much of a problem. Trick is to find a way to do so. - DNatureofDTrain
