I've Had It Up To Here With Teenagers - Plot & Excerpts
I am not sure what that says about me, but I don’t think it is anything good. How interesting can my life possibly be if I spend this much time whining about laundry? I live with three teenagers, so I have a staggering amount of laundry every single day. Someone has to do it. Sure, my husband throws in a load in his annual nod toward laundry-room equality. Theoretically, my children are old enough to do their own. If I were willing to stand over them with a whip and a chair, I could probably make them wash their own clothes, but it wouldn’t be worth it to me. Moms like me can fight only so many battles at one time. The model for our armed forces says that the United States of America should be able to handle two wars and a small skirmish simultaneously. Going to war bears a striking resemblance to child rearing. Just as America had to keep worrying about the Germans when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, parenting teenagers never offers the luxury of fighting one battle at a time.
