Living with teenagers. Do you want something to eat? No.

So I cook a pizza for myself and as soon as it's done the little shits eat my entire pizza and I end up with a sandwich ...

as a non-child-producing person, I'll tell you what I tell all my friends who are parents: dogs.
...or maybe cats.

oops. you already have the kids? sorry. Even having 7 dogs running around the house at one time was so much easier than kids. LOL

I read this a while ago and thought about a response. I had two teenagers in my house .

this is from a few years back I got some groceries put them away and when I got up the next morning I thought this is going to be a good day I will have orange juice with breakfast that I had bought the day before . It was gone. So I said ot my oldest child " do not drink the juice in one day "  So next grocery store trip I buy orange juice . The next morning it is still there , A few days later it is still there so I ask my oldest why he did not have any juice. He says you told me I could not have any juice ! I said "I told you not to drink the juice in one day " I guess sometimes people hear what they think someone said without hearing what was really said ? Or I thought He was just being passive aggressive and being over dramatic trying to make me out to be some kind of selfish monster not wanting to share .     this was years ago   He still talks to me so it is all good.

I feel your pain Jim.

On of mine will soon be 16, the other is heading to 12 soon too.

I am drained & exhausted with one teenage, and soon to rinse & repeat with the second one within another year or so!

I do wonder is it a penance from above, for me admitting to myself that I enjoyed wanton sex with hot chicks so much that I ended up on this forum!  ;)
