My mom tells everyone "they all lost the brains and common sense from 16-21ish". Stay strong!
Um, I might have been a "handful" at times and when I threw my hissy fit and acted like an arse... my parents took the phone(no cells phone then) out of my room and little tv that I had too. When I said "I have a right to my privacy...blah, blah, 16 year old blah" ..... My parents kindly informed me that it was privilege not a "right" of mine in their house where I was living. I was in complete shock when I returned home from school and my bedroom door was removed from the hinges. <-- yup, I had awesome parents!
Lesson (one of many) learned.
"Mean"(that means loving) parenting is one of the best gifts you can give. They will thank you... just give it a few years :)
