Well done you!!<br /><br />Tanda: I take my hat off to your Mum! I thought that I was going some with 5 children. Although I have to say that I could have gone on and had more babies, had it not been for he fact that we were a: ancient for parenting newborns and b: broke. Inspite of everything I say in my blog at times, I do actually love having 5 children!<br /><br />Sallysallywriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950005738012348313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-40037894933314199782006-11-30T14:08:00.000+00:002006-11-30T14:08:00.000+00:00My mother endured 7 teenagers and has managed to r...My mother endured 7 teenagers and has managed to retain her sense-of-humor. Of course, what I call a "sense of humor" she calls "insanity". I dunno how <b>that</b> coulda happened. *shrug*<br /><br />Great post, Sally.Altered Memorieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16617729572088402700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-88658711504303204502006-11-30T13:40:00.000+00:002006-11-30T13:40:00.000+00:00I reading and learning, I only have one teenager a...I reading and learning, I only have one teenager and find your posts very interesting.<br /><br />As you are aware I'm having a few teenage situations but on the whole my teenager is very kind and thoughtful. Yes Tuesday is forgotten (until the next time) and he has been clearing the dishes from the dinner table and wiping it clean every day without being asked.<br /><br />I was a dreadful teenager honest! So I hope my children take after their easy going father with a more laid back attitude to life.Beccyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00911316644797253921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-77743008124603498412006-11-29T20:33:00.000+00:002006-11-29T20:33:00.000+00:00Thanks Norma!

Of course by that time number 4 and 5 will be 12 and 14 and number 2 and 3 will be 18 and 20, so I fear it will get worse before it gets better. But hopefully I will get better at managing them too!!! It's a good laugh though!<br />Sallysallywriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13950005738012348313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36173469.post-57883103273282915162006-11-29T19:23:00.000+00:002006-11-29T19:23:00.000+00:00Sally, I love this.

My former teens are now 38 and 39, and miraculously returned to being the delightful children I raised somewhere around 22 or 23.
