Raising Teenagers is Tough

Whenever I tell people I have 6 kids they’re always shocked. I’ve come to quickly realize that although my older kids are more self reliant them hitting the teen/tween years has been an emotional rollercoaster for all involved. I honestly feel like the early years are a piece of cake compared to some of the stuff we’ve been going through the last couple of years in our home. 

 

As a mother, I’ve also learned you have to laugh or you’ll go crazy in the process. There are days I am wondering what the heck happened to my sweet little babies and who replaced them with the Troll under the bridge. Other days they are the sweetest most loving and funniest teen/tweens around.

What character will I get that day, your guess is as good as mine. 

I know being a tween/teen is hard. I’m also well aware times have changed and they’re under quite a bit of pressure. Social media doesn’t help either. 

So, I’ve put together this fun roundup of memes that nail what it’s like to be living with a tween/teen daughter.
