that can be a tough nut to crack with mopey, ornery teens
sometimes $$ helps

Thanks for that advice. Don't disagree with any of it. She did just pocket $1000 for getting straight A's on each of her quarterly report cards. That said, how do I get her to wash the extra dishes she dirties, especially when her mother says she shouldn't have to wash them?

Jesus titty! Last thing I would ever expect.

A grand for getting srtaight A's??? Get her in some dorky smart club then!

I try to encourage her to go in that direction, in terms of school clubs and pursuing friendships. She hates nerds and people who try hard at anything.

therapy.

for the teen?

although putting Troublegum on real loud usually cure's a case of the monday's

For the whole spacefam. This doesn't appear that it's going to improve on its own.

Doesn't anybody else have parenting issues to share?

My children I feel are too old for me to wipe their asses but they still ask me to, daily.

word is you are really good at wiping asses, so I can see why they want you to keep doing it

Dude, when we were all calling Yada an asswipe, I think you misunderstood what we were trying to say. This is just going to be awkward now.

Dude if I started sharing my parenting issues…..


Be thankful I don’t…

That's the thing… I think ole Space, god lovem' is just willing to go where most people aren't in terms of their personal woes.

I don't even say the things space says in my own head…

Yeah, the things we've been through…that's just not party conversation.

Both of my girls (one in college, one just out) were swimmers and kept busy with our neighborhood summer swim team. The older one is now the head coach and the younger one swims for Delaware. It was a great experience - social activities, competition etc.  They both worked as lifeguards as well. I'm sure those years weren't as rosy as I remember, but glad I didn't face Space-like dilemmas on the reg.

Both my kids at summer school - hey we are not raising rocket scientists here- and out of the house finally after sixteen months!! Hallelujah praise Jesus almost enough to make me believe


You wanted issues, i got them

wait, what was the issue?  seems like more of a 'good news' post

I agree…

Personally, I've been eagerly awaiting a family meltdown post from Big Sur from Space… No way multiple days into the vacation his wife hasn't hit him with a stick or his daughter thrown her sugar infused gelato at him yet.

they're in Yosemite, not BS.  FB reports that his wife is feeling out of shape after a long day of hiking… foreshadowing a potential marital rough patch?  tune in to "The Beer Thread" to find out!

Is "Get the fuck out of here you fat whore." ever a good thing to say to your kid, especially when you yourself are pushing 200?

Its really sad that Celeste has mentally abused you to the point where you think you’re her child.  :'( :'(
