One of my errands on the way home from work tonight was to pick up my impatient son at a friend’s house, drive him home so he could quickly shower and grab a bite to eat, then rush him back over to that friend’s house so they could head to a movie. While watching my son [...]

Saturday school

My fifteen-year-old daughter went to Saturday school over the weekend. Unfortunately, it wasn’t the academically enriching experience the name belies. Instead, it was more like The Breakfast Club. She was serving detention time for wearing a too-short skirt to school on Monday. When she chose to wear the skirt that day, she knew it was [...]
Teenage daughters in love

My teenage daughter is spending more of her free time in the evenings talking on her cell phone to her boyfriend. She hardly ever talks to me any more. She goes straight to her room after gymnastics practice and either calls him or waits for him to call her. Maybe I’m a bit jealous of [...]
A future in gymnastics

My daughter’s recent switch to a new gym was fraught with uncertainties for both of us. She was reluctant to leave her friends and a coach she’d known for 9 years. I was also struggling with questions of whether or not the move was for the right reasons or if I was just following the [...]
Time for a change

It’s time for a change in gymnastics programs for my teenage daughter, a level 9 gymnast who has been in the sport for ten years. Although she is somewhat reluctant to leave the coach she has been with for nine of those years, my husband and I feel this is the right thing to do [...]

I recently wrote about letting go of kids as they get older, how their interests change, and how they want to do new and different things than they did as younger children. I mentioned that my own mother was having a harder time letting my kids grow up than I was. She was upset that [...]

Summer camps begin this week now that school is out for the summer. My son will be attending a baseball camp, an ISTEP enrichment class, and hopefully later this summer, a basketball camp and maybe even forensic science classes at a local technical school. My daughter will be attending a cheer camp for her high school team, taking [...]
Happy Birthday Laura!

My daughter Laura turns 15 today. It’s hard to believe she’s 15. Where did that time go? Like most parents with their first child, I can remember bringing her home from the hospital and being lost in a sleepy haze of nighttime feedings and frequent diaper changes. I had no idea what I was doing. [...]
Teen angst
Posted in Kids, tagged friendship, gymnastics, parenting, teenage girls on February 7, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Having a hormonal teenage girl in the house brings back painful memories of my own teenage years. My daughter is dealing with a friendship triangle at gymnastics, where a new girl is trying to come between my daughter and her best friend. The new girl is in 7th grade, my daughter is in 9th grade and [...]
