Most definitely! While I only have one true "teen" left - my 16 yr old daughter, my two sons aren't that old (19 and 24). We have a lot of fun together, and it's also fun to watch the three of them interact. But I also enjoy teens in general, so much so that I'm head of the orchestra boosters and PTA prez at the high school.

Try really hard - you can remember YOUR teen years. (Scary, huh?)

Times have changed a LOT. I shudder sometimes at the things I see and hear, but deep down, they're still just kids - and we get out what we put in.

Even though my daughter is at that "I'm 18 I can do what I want and I know everything stage", we still have a lot of fun and she was great fun growing up.

In fact I really believe this phase she is going through is just preparing both of us for who to leave for college.

She is a great kid and I am going to miss her but I am estactic about the next chapters in both of our lives.

Hi, I can answer that one. I am raising 5 grands because our oldest daughter passed away. And I can honestly say knock on wood, I do not have boys or girls ringing my phone off the hook. I have 2 girls in college, 1 girl in high school, 1 boy in high school and 1 girl in elementary school. They are school and career focused. They go to school, work and church. We go on family outtings and always ask if they can go out on the weekends maybe twice a week. But they only go with their 29 year old Aunt.

So I can truly say I ENJOY my teens.

I agree. I have a 17 yr. old who will set foot on a college campus at the end of this month. We definitely have had our share of battles(what i call stepping stones) most of it is to test the waters of INDEPENDENCE others (at the same time)are that they have held our hands during decision making periods and they're not so sure what to do. It's amazing when that "light Bulb" goes on and you both realize that as a parent you've done the best job instilling the foundation to live by and as the young adult you realize with the love & support of your family you can tackle anything.

I completely adore my son, and all of his friends, who have mostly chosen our house as the place to be. Part of that is because, when it comes to his friends, I don't judge, and I give honest advise. My son is in his last summer before college, s we've had somewhat more issues that before (though one of his friends told me that's just n my mind), but he's still my best friend, and a whole lot of fun!

I have a great relationship with my daughter and son, who are both now in their 20's. When they were teens, we did lots of things together, shared stuff and had a lot of fun. My son, who is now married, hopes his relationship with his kids (when he has them) will be as good as ours and is trying to piece together the parts that made it so good. I think it's several factors. We all ate dinner together , we went on family outings and most importantly we talked and listened to each other.

I have a daughter that is 18 and a twin step sons that are 14 I love all of them. My daughter and myself were in a discussion last night over her going to college. She informed me she is going to wait until next fall to go to school, she wants to get a job and get out on her own then go to college, I disagree, I think she should go now. I just keep saying I love my children I love my children
