[QUOTE="busywend, post: 283993, member: 391"] Certainly pick your battles. Detachment. These do work well with teenagers. They are truly trying to get their independence. It almost seems like a natural way to separate the parent from the child. By the time they are 18, you are ready for them to go and so are they. Much easier than dreading the day they move out. I would also like to add that you should truly, truly pamper yourself during these years. It is amazing how draining a teenager can be. So, be sure to get some 'ME' time in. [/QUOTE]
