New to having a teen

I have three daughters, 13, 11 and 8.  I am new to having a teen but can;t believe how all consuming it is becoming.  It really stresses me out!

It is very consuming Barbara but it is very important that you take time out for yourself once in a while, to do something you enjoy, it sort of replenishes you for the next round :)

Oh yes....teenagers are very time consuming! I have a 24 year old son and a 19 year old daughter , so I'm certainly on the tail end of raising teenagers. I will have to say that all of the energy, sleepless nights , endless conversations, and hauling them everywhere is sooo worth it. I think the strong relationships I have with my kids now is due mainly to the fact that I reallly tried to be keyed into what was going on with them in their lives. Enjoy every minute of it!! They do eventually grow up and you have more "me" time then. Best of luck to you and your three daughters. But on a different note, it is certainly okay and even healthy to have "me" time right now.
