Definitions

I'm finding that "raising a teenager" could also be defined as "learning how to stuff down the urge to yell 'why don't you go fuck yourself, you little shit'" at your offspring.

I can imagine yelling "What the *hell* is wrong with you?" at LG, but not fuck. We're not there yet, and he hasn't pushed me that far. Yet. I just keep praying that teenage boys are easier-going than girls.

Well, when she starts the day by yelling "GO AWAY!!" and "God, just...don't talk to me!!" right as she wakes up?? It can lead you to the F-bomb pretty quickly.

I just looked at her and said "No problem" and poured myself some more coffee. Little ingrate.

I actually yelled "fuck you" at my son recently, but luckily he didn't hear me because he had walked away to his StinkRoom. I was horrified at myself. The thing is, he was acting like a grown adult of the dick variety, and for a moment I forgot he was my kid. I forgot he was A kid, period, because he was acting SO assholey. I give you mad props for staying calm.
