Amber-I watch my wonderful daughter who put me thru my paces as a teen and she is one tough Mom and she has mostly teens now-18,17,16,15 (3 girls) and the other 2 are 9 and 11 plus 3 foster boys 3,4,5. She's a better person than I could ever be.
Amber all you need is to add the word "little" to your Bless Her Heart.....we were instructed that in the south, if you add "bless his little heart" to any insulting remark....it saves the day......for example "I declare, that is the ugliest baby I have ever seen...Bless his little heart. " or " She' not only plain but down right pitiful....Bless her little heart." or at a picnic you comment "Try to avoid the potato salad its terrible.....oh you brought that...well bless your little heart....and the bowl is so pretty!"
kimba that sounds like a good plan.
Lacey if she is your daughter then she has to be great.
CYN you didn't do so bad look at Amber and you share her with us.
Ladies the apple didn't fall too far from the tree.
It is amazing because you never know what the future holds in our children. I figured if we made it through the teens we can get through anything life has to throw at us. LOL

3 teens down and one to go! Twas not fun, and I remember thinking I could not wait until they outgrew the toddler stage and became a little more independent. Ugh. Careful what you wish for.
skbs - fun isn't it???? my mantra is 'no means no' - I do treat my kids like naughty puppies who need to be trained.... but they like to know who's in charge.
