Hi everyone, it is good to see this discussion on teenagers... what I'd like to ask other parents is 'is life with a teenager inevitably hideous?'
My daughter is eleven-going on fifteen(at least). She has always been a great kid (but I would say that wouldn't I?) but thankfully everywhere we go people say this too. Since my daughter was a toddler my mother has said, with an air of wishful thinking,'wait until she is a teenager!' I was a hideous teenager (although not by todays standards) but I had a terrible relationship with my parents. My daughter and I have a good relationship which I dread loosing, is teenager angst inevitable? What are your experiences?
