Sure, I'm interested in talking about teens.  I have one 18, who has
become reasonably human again, and another 12, who is probably ready
to make the plunge to unbearable for the next few years.  (Although
she will probably be easier than her sister, since she is a more 
lovable person, and our lives are more stable now.)

Personally, I think babies are neat, toddlers are fun if you keep them
in hand, preteens are nice people to be with.  Then you have to just
close your eyes and try to keep them from driving you crazy until they
get over it.   You folks with problems with babies and toddlers (won't
eat, kind of diapers, won't sleep) don't know how easy you have it.

If anybody has any advice on getting through this kid's teen years in
better mental shape than I was with the the last one's, I'd love to
hear about it.
