    Oh dear. Many of us will really feel for you. Do you remember the comedian who invented Kevin the teenager and his pal, (played by an actress but pretending to be a boy)?  Like many a true word spoken in jest, it had plenty of truth in it ! 

     One I remember is that the horrible teenagers were only horrible to their own parents, and transformed into pleasant polite reasonable creatures when talking to parents of their friends. I had a silly/not silly idea that really, parents of teenagers should try a mutual exchange swap!

    Hi @newborn such a great idea but all my friends has boys 2 years younger than mine. So it feels like I am pioneering 💫

    haha Iza, trying to look on the bright side, you apparently only have to wait for your child to be 26, then they realise mother knows best (according to yesterday's news). Take a look on Mumsnet. You won't really be a pioneer, others have waded through similar quicksand and even lived to tell the tale! All the very best wishes for you and your DC
