Our Daughter Is Getting It In Spades
She thought she knew all the answers, too. Now she has a tweener, and the fun is just beginning.

It's the same things every generation -
and they ALL think THEY'VE just discovered it.
Still lovin' it.
Teenagers are a different race, all those hormones you know
I hope that strong black coffee is served before the Christmas lecture. yawn. No offense Cath. Nothing more rousing than two paramecium having it out to grab the audience's attention !
Why the interest in physics ? someone blocked up ?

Isn't it just grand
being a parent, Trouble is what amounts to a little storm in a tea-cup can very quickly escalate into a full blown gale....Cathy probably needs to tread on egg shells for a while whilst Danni comes to terms with what she sees as her best friends betrayal, Mind you if my experience with my own daughters is anything to go by give it a few days and Cindy and Danni will be besties once again ... Boy problems though are something Cathy is getting used too , After all Danni is only following in her big sisters footsteps ...

Tragedy to a teen is very real
so while Cathy may see it for what it is, she has to understand that to Danni it really is a tragedy. Support and comfort her as you try to get her to see that this isn't the end of the world and shouldn't be the end of her friendship with Cindy.

Hmmm, here is a thought for Cathy, how about using the older girls to talk with Danni, as I recall each of them has already been through all the angst and 'trials and tribulations' of the teen years, and are much closer in age to Danni than Cathy; so she just may actually listen to them than to her Mum. I mean Mum is "so old, so she couldn't possibly know anything nor understand" ---Right?
Don't we all get that from our own children?
I think I missed it.
All the teenage angst, I mean. At least with reference to my parent, as I was working away from home and living in lodgings from 17 onwards so I had to cope. Of course I had the usual insecurity especially with regard to the TG/CD 'thing' as well as relationships but as the internet (and computers for that matter) were parts of science fiction (with the stress on fiction) it was a different world.
As we never had children I'm just an interested onlooker :)
