6 going on 16

Posted by: ainse on: April 6, 2008

Yeah, so why did I think I could write 30 posts in 30 days? It’s friggin’ HARD! I mean, it’d be a lot easier if I had fun and interesting things to report, but I really don’t. Unless you want to talk about belligerent 6 year olds.

I’m not sure I understand when kids were suddenly able to talk back to their parents. I’m pretty sure I didn’t start doing it until I was at least 12, but now there seems to be no age limit. Okay, I’m fortunate in that I haven’t heard “I hate you” … yet … but the door slamming and screaming reminds me of my teenage years. Where do they learn that? Sure, I’ve had arguments with my husband, but certainly nothing that extreme. Does he get from Hannah Montana? Zack & Cody? Mario & Luigi? I don’t think so.

Maybe he’s taking a reverse path; being the obnoxious teenager now and in ten years he’s going to be a sweet little boy. Yeah, fingers crossed!

lol – Don’t keep your fingers crossed too long. I think in general boys don’t get as mean and nasty as girls do in their teen years. They just spread it over time. I don’t know which is easier, since I am in the middle of the teen years with #1 daughter.

your hilarious. i love your writing… and yep.. .im readin it all after stumbling upon you in etsy. (nice work there too) anyways my daughter is 5 and its totally the same. but the drama continues through the entire day. the cartoon characters express dramatic emotions, the family channel characters over react about EVERYthing… so your right. its not us as parents… its the TV shows. i am NOT looking forward to teen outbursts!
