Oh he still deserves the Wii...You're just upset right now, but after a bit it will all look better. Besides, you wanted him to easily put it in the ditch for a learning experience. He got it today, LOL

Be careful of what you wish for right?

Life's crazy Janet - even crazier with teens. Hugs to you and this day you've had!!

It'll all be ok, no worries.

He's a good kid. Keep telling yourself that, over and over and over again!

Sheryl's right. Teens are not easy. I think God designed them to be particularly trying so that when they leave home, their parents are a little bit happy!

I know, and he really is a good kid. Sometimes though when I'm trying to tell him about the roads and the weather conditions...he gives me this attitude of "I know everything, I'm a teenager"..it drives me crazy.

He said this afternoon that it didn't scare him any....drat...now what do I do?

Of course it scared him. Teenage boys have to pretend to be macho.

You should enjoy every minute with him - he's growing up and will soon be on his own. I used to tell my ex that it was better when Jessie fell on her face while she was still living with us than when she was on her own.

I do feel for you. These are very stressful years. I used to miss the 8 year old she once was.
