Do you have a teenager? We do! He becomes more and more a typical teenager every day. It is stock show season and there is so much to do every day and the closer it gets to a show the more hectic it becomes. It seems we fight him every second of every day to do what is necessary. He loves his pigs and stock shows seem to be the ultimate for him. Why does he fight the responsibility so hard? is dad's patience and mine are just about gone. He has grown up so much the last year, but man, some days!We have been so proud of him his first year in High School and his teachers are always so complimentary of his work ethic and intelligence. He's almost a different person at school. Guess most kids are but he really seems to be loving school and "being grown up". Why can't that attitude spill over into his home life? It is just so frustrating because it seems like we are constantly scolding, yelling, threatening. It would be nice to pay him a compliment but about what? Ooooohhh!
Lonnie and Garrett leave for Ft. Worth on Tuesday so pray they don't strangle each other! We aren't through with stock shows until March so pray a lot!
He sounds like a good kid, but a typical teenager!! Someday when he is grown and successful, you can look back and laugh and if you are really lucky, he'll have teenagers someday too!!

I know how you feel. Why do our kids make us fight to get them to do what we want them to do? Good luck!
