Raising teenagers (or surviving the teenagers) is never dull. You never are dealing with the same personality from one day to the next and sometimes not from one hour to the next. I have a new appreciation of those people with twins.
The year difference in age between Lucas and Eli are not going to give us the same breather we had with the girls. With our daughters, one was on the tail end of teenage issues as the other was entering, usually not overlapping too badly.
How two people can be so engaged, happy and sweet and within minutes turn into little poops and then just as quickly turn back into amazing kids....urghhh! This Jekyll and Hyde behavior is tiring not only for their parents but they just haven't realized how much work they are putting into these hormone driven, privilege restriction inducing antics.
One thing about surviving 3 teenage daughters it was really good practice for 2 teenage boys.....and if I keep telling myself that enough times a day, the 2 teenage boys may survive to see the week-end.
