Things have a way of a way of creeping up on you.
The songs from GLEE that you like know all the words to are considered classics.
You find words coming out of your mouth that you’re pretty sure your mother once said.
And somehow the perfect, angelic child you gave birth to…..
actual Nathaniel – making with the adorable
becomes…..
NOT actually Nathaniel
And it it totally my husband’s fault.
He brought home THIS PIECE OF SATAN:
No one gets why I explained that puberty is something my son caught from mold in his locker.
He laughed at me.
My husband rubs it in that our 13 year old is starting to have Peter Brady voice changes.
I AM DOOMED.

“When it’s time to change it’s time to rearrange, who you are into what you’re gonna be.” Never really realized how much this song affects the parents as much as they kids (hubby and I are kidless). Sorry. Glad you’ve shaped him well enough so that however he winds up on the other side of puberty will still be pretty decent ;-) Sha na na na na na na na na, Sha na na na na!

Why do I think maybe youre not as sympathetic as I thought you were?
Totally off subject and wrong blog but http://yfrog.com/h8b2muyj

Empathy? Always. Sympathy? Never. Good Natured But Very Oftentimes A Wiseass? CONSTANTLY. Awesome picture, BTW. If you took the pic with your good hand that means you weren’t holding on to anything, which I know is NOT easy. Good…no!…REALLY good for you!

Damn hon, you have my sympathy. Puberty is a bitch but my kiddo is proof that they can make it through without us committing murder (it was close for a few months…very, very close).

Can it be THAT MUCH WORSE that the girl going thru it? There is so much damn estrogen and angst flying around here, it’s ridiculous. And she’s one of the GOOD ones. Lord help me when the boys get there….

I’ll light a candle for you. And I’[m not even Catholic.
I’ll go to Bath & Body Works to get a candle.
Twitter Name: Anissa Mayhew
I’ll take it! :)
I’d offer to get you a Yankee Candle but they have that one that smells like fresh baked cookie
They don’t taste as good as they smell.

I find Yankee too extreme. we used to have to avoid a whole hall way of stores in NH because they had a Yankee store. I’ll take a $ store candle at this point. We’ve been having discussions about deodorant and the need to have a shower daily! I long for the days like the smaller boys that just want to play in the tub!
also have you noticed how much food puberty enhanced boys like to eat?
OMH!!
We grilled hamburgers thinking we’d have a bunch of leftovers and my son ate FOUR!!!
We have a Yankee candle store. I went in to check it out and the scents were too strong mixed togeter BLECH!!

my last girl just got her period — and we celebrated with a period party — no shit. My 4th — the only boy — so expected to get a period too someday. Thought “nocturnal emissions” were his period! He’s 11, and anxiously awaiting any hair growth — anywhere. Plans to name the first one “gordon.” can’t make this shit up.
Three teens and a tween and a mom entering menopause. Get a corkscrew.

My son’s 4th grade teacher has never seen The Brady Bunch. She told me that she has heard of it and that maybe her older sister has seen it. The “older” sister is 30. Did I mention that the teacher stressed older like 30 is ancient.

Did I mention that I can punch with my left arm….really HARD.

Oddly enough they do come through it to more or less ok humans. But it can be a long journey. It can actually be worse when they have one of their, “behave life a kid” days. They up-beat frenzy is enough to make you long to put your head in a blender.

If I drop the kids at your house, return them when they’re human again.

My 12 yo son, who is maybe 70 lbs dripping wet, recently announced “I’ve got hair on my balls!”. Oh joy.
He got the “MARK OF MANHOOD”…my son would be so jealous.
