Life with a teenager is unpredictable, to say the least.
From fights to showers of love, you never know what to expect from one minute to the next.
But you can be assured that no matter what strange and unusual things they do, you are NOT alone.
We bet you can relate to a lot of these.
1. Their brutal honesty
13 y.o. : you shouldn't be wearing leggings
— Vanessa Hunsinger (@slayerofthrift) July 24, 2016
Me: what? why? they're yoga pants. do I have camel toe?
13 y.o.:
Me: never mind #lifewithateen
2. WHAT are they doing in there?
Gives teen 2 hours to get ready. 2 hours later, teen - why you rushing me? #LifeWithATeen #SlowProgress

3. The need to make a statement
To go out with me, 13YO puts on a crop top, shorts, tights with pandas on them, and a dragon tail. #lifewithateen

The wait for her to come out of the dressing room feels endless...#lifewithateen https://t.co/nmfNvLV59I

6. Nothing phases them...
I asked my son what was on his pants. He says "it's just lube, got hit with a condom". LOL #sexedcurriculum #lifewithateen

7. That's convenient
Apparently the boy has decided he likes me again today. Mostly because he missed the bus and needs a ride. #LifeWithATeen

8. They are constantly chancing their arm
No, I'm not going to call the school and tell them you'll be late because you've been arguing all morning. #LifeWithATeen

9. They're allergic to putting things away
#ProTip: Your #LifeWithATeen will go much, much smoother if you reimagine the floor is actually a dresser.

10. When you're automatically suspicious
When ur 13y/o gives you the rare "Nite, Mom. Love you." #heartmelter #lifewithateen #patience #love #daughter
