I can't really relate as I don't have kids (thankfully most of all teen daughters!) But I found this humorous and it goes well with the posted rant: Just when did our daughters start dressing like hookers?

Enjoy.

Teen age daughters are harder to take care of than teen age boys. Once they get into their "boys are cute" phase there's just no stopping them.

Priceless.

...Thanking God daily for two teenage boys. I watched my dad deal with three teenage daughters. He grew old fast.

I was howling with laughter and I don't even have a teen-age girl. This will be shared with others that are experiencing this tramatic event. Thanks!

I am an expert on teenage daughters. I have 3. Well, thankfully, my oldest is now 20.

I have our 13 year old grand daughter visiting for the summer. You've reminded me of the teen agae years I had to endure with her mom. Oh man! This is sooo true.

Count me among those who found a son much easier to raise than a daughter

...... he practically raised himself ..... she gave me a head full of gray hair by the time I was 40 ....... :-(

I haven't regretted having my daughter for one minute. It doesn't have to be the way this article describes (I know it's humor - but close to truth in many households). You can raise daughters who are "normal" people not "PMS pricesses". Mine was taught that classic beauty is far better and lasts longer than trendy beauty. We also taught her that true beauty is more than just "looks".

She does not smoke or swear and has no tattoos or piercings because God made her perfect. She acts like lady and expects anyone who she dates to treat her as such. She's a beautiful young woman now, 19 and completing her junior year in college. She won't have to be retrained in language and manners in order to get a job. The companies she hosted at the college's student job fair have been BEGGING her to consider coming to work with them when she graduates and she didn't even interview with them because she was not a senior at the time.

I will tell you it takes a lot of prayer, perseverence and the abilty to say "NO" for their own good. Too many parents today want to be their children's best friend rather than the parent.

Love them enough to let them be angry at you from time to time. It WILL pay-off in the end!
