We have 6 kids....3 girls and 3 boys. My DH says they become tolerable in their 30's. Three of them are in their thirties and two of them aren't bad but the jury is till out on the third. She has to be the center of attention all the time.

I've decided that nature created teenagers become unpleasant so that it's easier for their parents to let them go. (Push them out the door?)

Our five children are all on their own except the youngest (he's 18), and I have enjoyed the transition from Mom to Mom Friend!

I just sent you a PM with a long list of ideas! Plus a link, which I'll share with anyone else who might be interested in what there is to do in the Buffalo Niagara region: http://www.visitbuffaloniagara.com/v...rs/driving.asp

Just about the time they are fit to live with, they are living with someone else.

Beats me, we have 5 boys between us aged from 35 down to almost 18. Get them all in a room together and it's like kinder again....the noise level goes up, they still play fight (they call it tough love) and jockey for attention, they even get a little jealous of the fur children. Wouldn't have it any other way though....keeps us entertained.
