If it's any consolation, before you know it they'll be away at college...sob. In the meantime, don't forget to breathe during that two hour hiatus away from the energy of the teen mood.
Amy, you're on.
But I'm going to need something more potent than wine. You bring the ice, I'll bring the mixer and the little paper umbrellas.
I come from a family of three girls, all hormonal teenagers in the 80's.
You're a saint, as far as I can tell.
Good luck.
Good news is, we're girls, we survived being teenagers, we didn't kill/be killed by our motherfolk.
Drink now, forever hold your peace.
From the perspective of a teenage girl, those steps work well. My mom uses them all the time.
