as a teenager i might be able to help ,i started really mis- behaving and my mom got real mad but then became nice again. So you get really frustrated and then cool down that’s the best way to do it because then your kids will listen to you.

just take it as it comes, the teenage years of parenting is probably some of the most hardest times, but also the best times, when they get to about 17+ you will start to bond a different realtionship more of a friend realtionship then a mother child one. you can talk to ur child about YOUR problems in stead of the other way around. but all u can do in changing ur parenting is to take everything as it comes take it day by day

I got 8 kids ranging from27 to 14 I miss them sleeping with me when they were very young. I made the 1st 2 my friends but i would not advise that u have to be there mum b4 a friend . Just be a dammed good listerner and be prparred for anythink .I prefer friends of our kids to stay at our place , we always make the there friends feel comfortable.If you have a girl the 1st real boyfriend she gets hurts a bit as you became a no-one and there b/f becomes god .Lap there love and there cuddles and there tears up now as they grow up so fast.And get them to help aound the house even at a early age.And be there for them 24/7 and as they are older NEVER give up on them .
