LOL

Sounds like you need to get a BIG slobbery dog :)

I'm going to have to follow this thread closely. My daughter just became a teenager - perhaps this looking into the future might keep me sane.

[Horatio Gates]

That's strange. My 16 year old daughter gives me an earful when I don't try to wipe her out on the wakes when she's kneeboarding

And I have to make something for the vegetarian because she can't eat burgers."

I would order the biggest all meat pizza I could get my hands on with super extra helpings of canadian bacon and sausage.

[Lil'freeper]

Like, omigawd. That's like, so, eeew.

[Crazieman]

That attitude goes right up to the mid-20s these days. Why I'm still single. They're all gossiping soap-opera/90210/OC lightweights, concerned with the latest style.

These are the people that actually buy and read the magazines at supermarket checkouts.

[RosieCotton]

This is why for the most part, I never hung out with other teenaged girls... ;-)

Ewww indeed...but in reverse!

Commiserations.

[Vision]

Just chill some gin down and I'll tell you, everything will be fine.

[jennyjenny]

Hmmmmm.....no little brother around that can invite some of his friends over and make....well....boy noises? Or that could maybe get some worms, spiders or squirt guns to play with around the house?

I feel for ya....been there, done it and am happy to report all parties involved survived.

Tell her that the eggs she eats will never hatch as they are not fertile. (Gotta keep those roosters out of the hen house!) My 20 year old daughter has a 21 year old boyfriend who asks her to cut up his pizza like his mom does. I yell at him and then there both PO'd at me. Oh Well!

[MotleyGirl70]

half act like extras in for "Beverly Hills 90210".

And I have to make something for the vegetarian because she can't eat burgers.

Egads! You have your hands full.

Call the pissy 90210 girls close to the pool and have hubby do a big cannonball right in front of them!

[InvisibleChurch]

That's what teenagers do. Enjoy it because they grow up and go away. My 15yo girl is knee deep in teen angst, grumbling and complaining and being 'right' ALL the time and I wouldn't want it any other way. What it really means is that they are normal. Let them have fun and buy them pizza and let them be goofy. I'll say a prayer for you anyway.

; )

"Excuse me, is she saving them to glue together to make a pig again? "

Thats FUNNY!!!!

MM

I cant relate, I have boys and they are BOYS in every sense of the word.

[elli1]

The party is for your daughter & her friends. I'd just turn it over to them, lock up the liquor cabinet and make myself scarce.

[PeteB570]

Man, you ain't figured it out yet?

The wife guards the house and supervises the "guests" while you grab the dog and go camping with the guys.

A little male bonding while you sit around the fire and do manly things like drink beer, tell stupid stories, burp and other gross things while you grill cow meat over hot coals.

[HairOfTheDog]

I'd spray them all with the hose...

[BossLady]

So what part of pool party did the girls not understand??? LOL! Are there going to be boys at this party....or a possibility of boys at this party.....except for Mr. M??? If not....then maybe encourage the girls to think of this as girls day out.....no boys....so they can just be themselves....hang out....get a tan.....do facials...talk about boys....whatever.

I remember when I was a young girl....my neighborhood was overrun with boys my own age. My first overnighter we were continuously bothered by them.....hopping the fence...calling....knocking on the door....like dogs in heat. Well....my next party went differently.... my Dad literally put signs on our doors and gates etc that said....NO BOYS ALLOWED.....Signed... Hank The Tank !!! (My dad's name is Hank) No boys ever bothered us again. HAHAH!

The good news is this.....if the vegie girl was for real she would insist on you cooking her burger on a separate grill!!! (I am a lifeling vegie....hahah)

Good luck!

[weegee]

And she eats eggs because the baby chicks are already dead.

Proper justification is it doesn't have a face. As in, "I don't eat anything that has a face". It's as okay to eat eggs as it is to abort the "not a baby" fetus in that worldview.

[HitmanLV]

You think that's bad, check out the perpetual navel gazing and shallow introspection by Australia's greatest export, Emmalina, on Youtube.com!

[MotleyGirl70]

And I have to make something for the vegetarian because she can't eat burgers.

There's only one cure for that disease!

Ted Nugent camp!

Excuse me, is she saving them to glue together to make a pig again?

Lol!
