Ermmm Hayley...thanks...but one's enough lol

Helen there is something to be said for 'laid back and messy' , might also mean less stressed about the inconsequential things in life :) when it comes down to it, people remember what you were like to them , not how tidy you were lol

You're so right Rose. I remember when mine were teens, always at loggerheads...but people kept telling me what nice polite kids they were! I would ask if they were talking about MY children or someone else's LOL

trying!

But I was really very pleased when I went into the paper shop yesterday where my son has his paper round. He was going to show a 'new boy' his round and i went in with him to buy some milk, the ladies there greeted him with big smiles, and then asked if I was his mum. They said he is one of the best boys they have had, always on time , polite and very helpful , a real pleasure to have.

I was dead chuffed :))

So if you are living with a stroppy teen...remember , they may be really lovely elsewhere ;))
