My "kids" are grown, 44 and 40 and their teenage years were a blast----they worked part time, went to school, did the sports things; all their friends were great, and to this day call us Momma T and Pops; life was simpler then. We've had our hand in raising 3 of our grandkids these past 8 years and life, in general, has changed. They seem to think the world owes them a living...I want...I've gotta have....I need to have....but work? Good grief! Kudo's to all of you with teenagers in this day and age. I pray that what we tried to instill in our grand daughter sunk in...now that there are 2 great grand daughters. Our 1 grandson is now working and on his own and shows signs of "listening" to Gram and Gramp. Although our other grandson is "lost", our prayers are with him and hope remains. They're all blessings in their own way.
