One doesn't raise pre-teen girls; one survives raising pre-teen girls.

Exactly!

My 9 year old is very strong willed. It is to the point that she literally explodes if she doesn't get to do what she wants to do. Of course, we (my wife and I) don't put up with that crap, so........

Tonight, she threw a fit about who was going to take her to the school open house. It was literally ridiculous but brought much drama to my house.

I have 3 kids total, oldest is 12 year old girl middle is 9 year old boy and youngest is a 2 year old girl. So we get to have a toddler and teenager at the same time. It is also way more work with 3 kids then it. Was with 2....but we love them all!

I'm so glad I don't have kids, my 3 year old niece already tells me that her Grandma ( my mother) can't go out with us because she is too old and asks too many questions,

it'll only get worse I'm assuming.

Here is Mark Twains advice on teenagers

"When a child turns 12 you should put him in a barrel, nail the lid down and feed him through a knot hole. When he turns 16, plug the hole!"

Maby you need to start this a little earlier....say 10?

I have 5 Boys
and I pity you guys

[sniper7]

I had to re-read that. I hit "almost 17 daughters" and I'm thinking 16 daughters and a son that the doc's thought was a girl in the sonogram. Felt REAL bad for you for a second there. And worse for the Mrs.

I did the same double take. I was thinking some Jerry Springer stuff was going on

I am thankful every day that the good lord in his infinite wisdom blessed me with boys. I don't know how you guys do it. Hell I can barely handle the adult ones.

Man, I have a 15 yo stepdaughter who is a GIANT pain in the ass. I try to keep my cool and realize that she is "supposed to" be a PITA at that age. It's all "gimme this and that" and when I say "sure...when you finish your chores" I get the "you're an asshole" look.

In addition, she's Asian and seems to have a bias against white folks. We live in Gilpin County (aka Whiteville) so she better get over that shit or she's gonna have a lonely high school experience.

From what others have told me, she'll be our best friend when she's 25 or so. Only 10 more years!

Oh yeah. Got another daghter of my own coming in November. She'll be perfect, of course.
