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

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

This sucks.

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

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

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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

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!!!!!
