The miscommunication, crossed wires, and dropped balls seemed endless. There was a point in time where I packed my car with snacks, water and a good book to read just so I could relax and not completely lose my cool when the 6:00 pick up turned out to be 7:00. My friends and I call these "the chauffeur years". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-son-is-trying-to-kill-me#post-555825 Sat, 03 Mar 2012 04:07:50 +0000 Freckles 555825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah, the big difference between 16 and 20...THE FRIDGE!</p> <p>16=after school plate of nachos, 4 pears, 2 apples, 3 peaches, litre of milk and the question is...how long til dinner?

Wow. Nothing like having to be at two places at once. I won't tell you anything discouraging; you're doing a great job. One of the nice things about the teen years is that they're gone from the house a lot more, lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-son-is-trying-to-kill-me#post-554823 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:31:38 +0000 Jem 554823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lol, funny story! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ot-my-son-is-trying-to-kill-me#post-554811 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 01:00:25 +0000 chewyspaghetti 554811@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh yeah Shannon- we aren't even discussing driving for a couple of years.

I didn't sleep well last night, but still managed to get him to the junior college for his orientation and math classes on time. He called on the home phone a while later (I had forgotten to turn on my cell) to tell me he was done with his classes. I couldn't figure out how he got out so early, but I told him to do his homework on the computer until it was time to pick him up because we had scheduled things so closely for the afternoon (timing pick ups and get together straight from school). Then I realized what must have happened- he got out of his first class early and joined an already in session math class! His math class hadn't even started yet! I turned my cell phone on to call him and got bombarded with messages from a friend about the get together. I managed to get Wonder Teen back to class, and get things coordinated with friends for today, but Holy Cow! I haven't even finished my cup of coffee yet!<br /> Don't tell me the teen years just get worse- my heart won't be able to take it! LOL </p>
