Frank WakefieldThat would be a nice bunch of Hindu cards to have, though...
As for grouchy teenagers, 17 yr old twin daughters here. Their parents are idiots. School is boring and a waste of time. They lack the ability to move a dirty dish to the kitchen, much less the dishwasher.
But there is hope. I do honestly believe that they will eventually learn to turn off lights. That day will come when they have a light bill in their name.
I agree with Leon's perception for getting attention, but I think too few parents do. Not when you're angry, but with calm, reflective, good intentions... pop! Too late now for me. They'll be 18 in 6 weeks.
And I've come to think about college tuition as the alternative to keeping them underfoot. No brainer!!!
