It's Official!!! I'm effing old.

[Mandy]

Today, my oldest daughter turns 13.
I am officially the mom of a teenager.
I'm not happy about it.

This sucks. :thumbdown:

I want cute little babies again, not mouthy smelly teenagers. :mad:

[lauren grier]

haha

I
do
not
envy
you



:D

[Jennifer]

Oh no! It happens so fast...I'm not looking forward to that day, either! I bet she's thrilled, though! I couldn't wait to turn 13! :P

[Melissa Bennett]

Hee hee, I can feel your pain. My oldest is 14 and well, I think teenage boys smell far worse than teenage girls!! LOL!!

[Mandy]

I guess now I can start Countdown to College. LOL! WOOT!
DH realized last night she'll be driving in 3 years and about had a heart attack. :D

[jessica31876]

Mine are 17, 15 and 11 so having a child who is only a year and a half off graduation is really making me feel old and sooo notalgic for when she was a baby. You just dont realize until it is to late how fast the time will go.

[jessica31876]

And dating too!! :blink:

I feel your pain! My oldest will be 14 shortly, I so don't feel old enough to have a teenager!! Doesn't help me that the youngest is only 3 - it's depressing when I think that my oldest will be two years away from graduating high school when the baby starts kindergarten!!!

[4noisyboys]

My youngest just turned 17 and my oldest is 25! I love it now that they are older. I miss the little ones, but maybe I'll have grandkids someday.

[ShortCake]

My oldest is 12. Not looking forward to the teen years.

Now, my daughter is 9 and she already gives me attitude. :mad:

[ZaCola3]

LMBO!
It's all right Mandy...I've been a mom of teenagers for three years now and I embrace it.
:P

[pbumbaca]

I hear you Mandy! My oldest turns 13 on the 28th of this month and my baby turns 10! No more single digits even for me, talk about OLD!

[newfiemountiewife]

I remember being SO stoked to be 13!!!! Are you doing anything special?

[Mandy]

Well she got her first digital camera, a slumber party and her choice of dinner and cake, but that's all. That's special enough. Birthdays are usually low key around here.

[Paula]

Aww hon, it's ok!! Let's talk when your YOUNGEST turns 13 (which mine does in May).

[HeatherKS]

LOL Paula!

Don't consider yourself old, consider how lucky your kids are to have a hip, awesome mom! :thumbup:

[meems]

happy birthday to your DD!

i refuse to think about the teen years yet. :blink:

[Paula Duncan]

I'm right there with you all!! My dd is 14 and in this province she can already drive!! I'm just grateful that she feels she isn't ready yet and still likes me to drive her around!! :D

[kscwgirl]

I get attitude too, and she's 4 1/2. I dread the teenage years. :(

[my3hens]

You are not old at all woman! Happy Birthday to your daughter! I know what yo mean about missing the babies though. My sister is 10 years younger and I swear I still see her as a 6 year old, not a 16 year old!

[lizzyfizzy]

i feel your pain!!!! i mean my kids don't smell (:D) but dang...they are getting old too! maddie will be in junior high next year and i'm not even 28 years old! DUDE!

[lizzyfizzy]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOUR (used to be) BABY GIRL!!!

[Kat Stokes]

haha

I
do
not
envy
you



:D

Me either... and I'm soooo glad I don't have girls!!!! (Although I am certain my boys will give me a run for my money...)

[juliemarie]

welcome to the club :(
Just wait until she starts driving and getting military recruitment stuff in the mail (my oldest is 16)

Her daddy is active duty Navy and a recruiter so she KNOWS better than to listen to any recruiter crap. LOL

[crecia27]

13 sucks. 14 sucks worse. But by 16 they are pretty fun to hang with again :D

[my4boys]

My oldest will be able to get his drivers permit in flipping January so I am really freaked out...DS 2 will be there in 3.5 years which seems like a long time but I remember saying that about Dylan a few years ago too and here we are already!!!!!

[sugarink]

What do you mean old, you're just getting younger! :) I'm a mom to 2 pre-school boys and I embrace every moment b/c i know they'll be grown in a blink of an eye... Anyways, hope your DD had a wonderful birthday and may she enjoy many more to come!
