Getting any sleep lately? I figure you're at that point where it's every 30 minutes. Post, feed, nap, post. lolMine are 14 and 10 now. Those days are long gone...Teenage daughters are harder though!  Hope you and your family are well |

| Last night was rough. We went to bed late, my daughter was up too many times, and we had to get up early for my son's doctor's appointments. Both kids are sleeping right now, so just taking the opportunity to spend time on the computer. It doesn't happen that much anymore, except email and FB via my iPhone.Tara KizerMicrosoft MVP for Windows Server System - SQL Serverhttp://weblogs.sqlteam.com/tarad/Subscribe to my blog"Let's begin with the premise that everything you've done up until this point is wrong." |

Depending on their age, wait. Age 15 is usually when it starts and seems to last about 3 years - not constantly but enough where it feels like it sometimes. My girls are now 20 and 15. The oldest is now "cool, calm and collected" (although it might help being away at school!). The younger one is showing the same traits as my older one at this age. It does get better, but you have to deal with a little of the worst first!! Still, wouldn't trade them for all the tea in China.As far as an interest in my coding, they think I'm a geek, and that's cool, but this geek IS paying for school, clothes, food and shelter (plus all the little girlie incidentals and outings) so I can't be that bad. Famous daughter quote: "Aww but Dad....everybody" followed by "has one" or "is going/will be there" or "is doing it". My failsafe reply: "ask your mother" - keeps ME out of trouble.Terry-- The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money. -- Margaret Thatcher |

| Oldest now 16.5 - no chance of her becoming a grumpy teenager. Very calm and collected already (also "away" at school, which I agree probably helps)Youngest nearly 11 (and also "away at school" - clearly we feel we would fail parenting classes!!). Not at the potentially-grumpy age yet, and she is far more earnest ... but, she's very caring ("What would you like for your birthday, iPod? Jack Wills stuff?" ... "I'd like to adopt an animal at the zoo pls" ) so I have my doubts that she will be a stroppy-little-madam either. Time enough for me to be proven wrong though! |
