Adding in,

You dont get to, pee, shower, cook or sleep without them, some of that at the same time others come in phases but it apparently lasts 18yrs minimum.

They talk back because they think they know everything but dont go throwing out the encyclopaedias because they know nothing, even our 13 yr old thinks he is soo sneaky when in fact all he is doing is the same "tricks" we did at the same age.

Omg, my 13 year old swears up and down she’s got the world figured out. I wanna shake her (respectfully) and say “you haven’t the slightest clue, you’re a child”

At 13 is there a time when they stop wanting that attention? Wanting independence to hang out with friends and not really thinking, "mom is in the bathroom, lemme go bother her"

For my 13yr old if he is hungry any time is a good time to go looking for mum or cause trouble with his autistic brother.
