Whew, I thought I’d be in trouble for those death threats to my teenagers.
Fortunately most grow out of the condition.... Buck up.....
When my daughter turned 13 I tried to give her to friends to raise. Said I would happily pay all her bills, just take her but no one would. And that was even in the day when teenage problems were small peanuts in comparison to what parents fight now. She remarked one time that she had to be a difficult child to raise because her older brother had been too easy and we needed to have at least one challenge in our life.
Over the years she became my best friend but her life was ended 12 years ago in an auto accident. I would gladly have those troublesome teen years back because I have come to appreciate that they don’t last forever.
“Wait until your father gets home” is not considered a death threat.
