This and with the stress of my niece and my brothers estate...I may not make it to 26 years married...I am really fed up
Teenagers are a handful even with two parents raising them constantly. I don't have any but I sure remember what I was like as a Teenager and I regret every minute I treated my mom badly..... Just keep in the back of your mind that ONE day you will be their best friend. I know my mom is my best friend. They will grow up and when they become adults they will NEED your advice. My mom doesn't interfere if not asked but I ask her all the time because I am not always sure. She has even volunteered to nanny for me for the first few months after our first child because she knows how overwhelmed I get just thinking about it. Just keep telling yourself "one day she will see from the eyes of a mother"

Good luck Teenagers can be a bugger
