A Weekend Without the Teenager

March 22, 2009 | By | |

Our resident teenager (13 year old son CJ) spent the entire weekend at my parents’ house goofing off with my youngest brother (who happens to be 16 years old).

    Welcome to the party. This is my first time joining. I have three boys 12,10 and 7. My 12 and 7 year old get along great, so I know what you mean! The older two do seem to have more arguing, fighting and general discontent!

    Another nice result of one of the kiddos being away from the others is the “honeymoon” period after they return. It’s short lived, but my kids just looooove each other for a few days after being separated. It’s cute.

    I have two teenagers, 15 and 17…for the most part they get along okay…they don’t agree with each other most of the time, but if they started agreeing it wouldn’t be the family I’m used too….So I know what you mean when you say you don’t miss it, but then again you do cause it’s their individuality that makes their time with you so special.

    I think I would get worried, if my children never fought. Fighting is part of a relationship and as long as they’re small fights over food or games, it’s something natural. And I’m sure your kids enjoy some small fights too. Mine do. They love to have big loud arguments about nothing and when you look again a few minutes later, they’re playing peacefully together.
