Kinda hard to get the conversation started with that one. -------------------- Jeanne "Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride!"

I just sit and worry and wonder what I did wrong. I can't make any one happy and when did I become a big DORK? I used to be cool, I use to dress cool, and know the latest dance moves. When did I become this person that is the worst person to talk too? --------------------

My son will go shopping with me 18 years old bc he knows I will buy him something and I will try something on and he is like you look like an old fart get something more stylish it will make you look good and young. I'm thinking everyday I get older you think clothes are going to help that LOL But I think they get lost in there own little world sometimes and just dont think. I'm like you I worry about them more now then I ever did since I have 2 driving and hubby working 2 full time jobs and I'm scared shitless I'm going to get a phone call and I'm going to have to take that call. We always talk at the dinner table thats where I find out the most info on everyone so this way everyone is included in the conversations just flow right out of everyones mouth maybe you should give that a try -------------------- Wife to Ed (Redchief) Mom to Rick,John,Erin and Kaitlin "Believe 100% in what you see believe 50% of what read and none of what you hear"

Unregistered	I post here all the time LOL My kids think I'm cool stuill LAUGHING hahah. Henry and I dress about the same, jeans and a tshirt so he can't say much! He's so grown up for his age. once i came out of my room and he was downstairs we were BOTH wearing plain whit etshirts with jeans LOL we tend to share socks too. just cause it's easier than sorting them out. Instead of sorting the kid's socks out, I just put them in a little basket and they find theres LOL cept the babies. he talks to me a lot actually. we're kind of on teh same level, had kids about the same age. shrugging Henry and I started out close, kind of lost each other for a while, and are close again.

I'm still in that "generation"..... and maybe I can offer some "insight" from the teenager's perspective.... -------------------- The richest people don't have the best of everything, they make the best of everything.

Newbie Group: Members Posts: 7 Member No.: 1,699 Joined: 9-April 05	ok....so lets talk about that phone thing a little more.... We also have a rule, no phone calls after 9 pm...so what does the 16 yr old daughter do? calls someone at 8:55 and expects she can stay on the phone forever? uhhh that'd be a NO. so then...she resorts to her cell phone....her father gets the bill the next month and says...young lady, why were you on the phone till 11:30 some nights? So now...since the cell phone is in our room after 9 pm...heh...she's found yet another way around it...she uses the laptop computer, says shes using it for 'homework'...and keeps the darned instant message program up and running. I tell ya, did we need this much communication with our friends at that age, cause I don't recall needing to talk that much !! ~Cindy~
