30 Parents Tweeting About What Having A Teenager Feels Like

😂

Easy, don’t let them have your phone.

If she has a literal stroke every time you breathe within a one mile radius of her phone, it might be a good idea to take her to the hospital.

Make a deal with them: if they get to scroll through your phone you also get to scroll through theirs

Just tell her next time she touches your phone you are going to do exactly the same: check the camera, read the messages, etc. It's called "quid pro quo", and it works miracles.

One word "secrets" they probably assume they know everything about you. But they don't want to get caught with their Snaps of them vaping in the parking lot, sharing dirty jokes with their friends, s**t talking and flirting. That and their phone connects them to all their friends and the world in general.

I once was using my dads iPad and my mom texted him. I was bored and I’m nosy so I went to see what the text was about. Then i scrolled a little and saw a d**k pic my dad sent my mom. I’ve never went through their messages again.

Just start discussing *all* of the amazing tracking apps that are available nowadays...

I'm 26, love my parents... But weirdly enough, this is still true. Ofcourse, I ask upfront, but they'er always like 'yeah, sure, here's my phone & my pincode, go ahead'. The other way around, noooooo, NEVER.

As a parent, you not only have th right to look at/through there phone but a responsibility to. There's just too much out there that can hurt them that they don't know of.

My sister tried to slam the lounge door once when we were young. It had a doorwedge under it though, and after three tugs she stamped to her room and slammed her door twice to compensate

My husband is 35, still does that))))

:D

And...scene.

Nothing to be alarmed about. He's just asking how much time he has with his girlfriend. Together. In his bedroom.

Fair enough...

Psychosomatic illnesses are a thing, you know

My daughter wakes herself up and gets ready whilst I still sleep. She is old enough to sort herself out and take responsibility.

Chores only done when it suits them

Thats kinda mean

I'm the youngest (14) and I snuck out to go see senses fail and i met them afterwards and they offered to text my parents that im okay and nothing bad happened to me

🤣🤣🤣

Yes, text. Common that they prefer to text.

When I was a teen I only ate one meal a day. From the time I woke up till I went to bed.

All parents should just do that. If they want to live in a pit, let them. Pay professionals to clean it when they leave home.

Not a hill to die on, they cold, they cold.

I don't get these situations. Just don't allow to eat in the bedrooms. I never did that and neither will my kids be allowed. Meals are family time.

I am 33 years old and I have never heard the hashtag symbol also being called pound sign.

Mine always wants a specific reaction too. Do I laugh? Stay neutral? Roll my eyes? It’s never an easy answer.

Leave it there.

I'm so sorry for saying that because giving birth to a baby is a damn hard job but it's not like our kids actually asked us to do that, it was our decision to have babies, wasn't it?

Because yours talks alot?

You are not alone

don't buy the junk food (?)

At least it was healthy?

"If I didn't love you, I wouldn't care," is my stock answer.

My sister went through puberty at the same time as my mother went through the menopause. It was truly horrible. Not sure I've forgiven either of them yet.

Child is blind to the treasure in front of him

"Borrow"

Yeah, the bands could mean a lot to her, my parents got into a lot of the bands i like

Simple, don’t argue with them and if they get cold it’s their own fault. I may ask my daughter to grab a jacket or jumper but if she refuses I tell her don’t whinge to me if your cold. And if she whinges I tell her I don’t want to hear it, I warned you so shut it. And that’s the end.

Maybe teens are cats. Or at least like my cat "look my soft belly, come and rub it" and after 30 seconds "hissss, what do you think you're doing rubing my belly".

Solution: don't wash anything that's not placed inside the laundry basket. When he runs out of clean underwear/tshirts/trousers he'll start to be careful. You are not your son's slave.

Hold on to the handle, lol when I learned to drive I called it the Jesus handle as my dad would grab it several times per minute to exclaim that "prayer". Our family calls it the Jesus handle to this day ^-^

Wow, what an a*****e. I don't care if they're "just a kid," they should know better than to be so deliberately rude.

Stealing this.

Yep....Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn.
