HI Dave, 4 Teenagers - God Bless You! I know how difficult that can be. My first 3 children were all born within 33 months, so they were all teenager at the same time as well. I remember thinking when they were little that I couldn't wait until they were older! Boy, did my thinking ever change when they did get older! Kids are much harder to deal with as teenagers...and with their emotions and hormones running wild...WOW, I had all I could do not to rip my hair out! Have patience...eventually it does get better. Just try to stay as involved in their life as possible and make sure you know who their friends are. Don't be too strict, but don't be too lenient either....find a happy medium. God Bless You! Marilyn

HI Shelly, I agree with your feelings...kids are a part of us, and I think women have a much stronger feeling of that then men because we are the one's that carry them inside us. As I have written before, I hate the delivery part of having a baby because I felt like I lost a large part of myself. My kids are an extension of me. God Bless You and Your Family! Marilyn
