My kids "cannot remember" so many things (chores, home work, house rules, etc), why would I let them text, go on FB or even drive when they have such poor memories? We have tried and tried to teach common sense, I think you can improve on what you already have in that area, but you have to be born with at least some or you are doomed to fail. My kids have weird thought processes, weirder than most teens I imagine since I usually feel like I'm living in the Twilight Zone any time I try to explain something to them.<br /><br />We all need a break from teenage girl drama (I have zero patience left for it at this point having had 4 teen girls so far) and teen boy stupidity. I would have taken the cleats and stored them away until next season - I have little patience left in any area apparently. I am always amazed that my kids can argue about the dumbest things as if its life or death.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14612523674452864077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-83841275986948166592011-11-09T11:47:31.239-06:002011-11-09T11:47:31.239-06:00teenage girls, I'm pretty tired of them as wel...teenage girls, I'm pretty tired of them as well...<br />Our girls had their phones taken away a year ago, basically same scenerio as yours, because their phones were under my name etc. I could go online and actually print out all the text messages, ugly/nasty blah blah blah<br />we do have a phone the girls could take when they were gone on school events and we had to coordinate pick up times, but they couldn't text and I reminded them each time that I could easily look on the computer and know who they called and when they called even if they deleted it from the phone. They like to steal phones from other students so the staff at school is on alert and confiscates any they see the girls with. They gave us no choice. They also don't have access to facebook or myspace as that was just another avenue to either be bullied or do the bullying.DynamicDuohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17873524872136172078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-31261348943621042642011-11-09T11:03:28.133-06:002011-11-09T11:03:28.133-06:00I'm feelin' the love. ♥I'm feelin' the love. ♥Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13823015360549493983noreply@blogger.com
