I should add that my son, now 24, grew up to be a kind, responsible, and thoughtful young man. But he was such a snarky teen, I wondered if he'd make it to 20 without serious emotional scarring (from Barbarian me). -- Cindy La Ferle I appreciate all of these comments, and I’ll be keeping all you mothers of teens in my thoughts.

I have two at that age. It's the only time you wish the years went by a little quicker so they will grow out of it. Not sure if I told you yet but I enjoyed your class at the Rochester Conference.

Cindy - I've got one of those Barbarian silver cuff bracelets and I wear it all the time. The kids cringe when I wear my Plains Indian neck piece made from bone. At least your son didn't confuse you with Barbarella. HA! Cindy – I’ve got one of those Barbarian silver cuff bracelets and I wear it all the time.

Adolescence is tough on everyone, all the way around. I saw by your comment at my site that you are reading the Kidd book. I just started it last night and I loving it--as you might well guess. Mary all over the place. I wonder if you will be doing a post on it. I would love to hear your thoughts. :-) Hugs! Wonderful reminders that our young ones grow up so fast!

And there aren't nearly enough parenting books about this age. My son had a very rough time. There are so many things I would have done differently.

My sister was telling me the other day about how her teenage daughter cries--CRIES--when she, my sister, sings along with the radio. Why? "I used to LOVE this song, Mom, but YOU RUINED IT!!!!"

I remembered my own embarrassing episodes with my mother. And Sharon, even as I laughed, I secretly hoped that my children, especially my daughter, did not skirt with a heart attack at my own parental dressing missteps. Cindy you made me laugh.
