Thanks for the info Paul. The link was very helpful. Bob you put things in perspective, and I still have 2n fever bad as ever. You guys sure give good advice. Do you have any on dealing with teanage daughters? I do know there is no better theropy than riding that tractor. I think I'll buy one for the wife so she can relax. Thanks again, odessa.

Odessa,
Been there, done that. All I can say is we now have 4 adult children (2 boys and 2 girls). They are just wonderful to be with(not to mention our 7 grandchildren. My wife says they're God's reward for not doing in the kids.) The teen years, however, were indeed different.
Mrs Chuck (CA) just reminded me of a great book by Rich Wilkerson titled, "Hold Me While You Let Me Go."
I think Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) said it best:
"When I was sixteen, I couldn't believe how stupid my parents were. When I turned twenty one, I was amazed how much they had learned."

This should help with teenage daughter, raised two myself. Man walking down the beach kicked up a brass lamp, when he rubbed the lamp out came the genie[mad as all get out] and growls you have one wish coming and only one so don't waste if. Man thinks for minute and says I don't like to fly and would like to be able to travel to Hawaii often, so my wish is that you build me a bridge so I can drive there. Genie says no way takes to long to build, try agin. Man says well I would like to be able to understand how my wife and daughter think. Genie says u want that bridge two or four lane.

I've been through teen years twice with my sons and am still working with getting a daughter (she's 17) through. About the only helpful thing I can tell you is a rule of thumb given to me by a friend. How to tell when teenagers are lying... Their lips move! 8^) Seriously, just be thankful for them with all their 'faults' and don't blink too long, 'cause they're grown and gone before you know it. Try to be patient and understanding (to a point) and even though they think you're a pain, try to keep talking to them. They appreciate the attention more than they will admit. Good luck!

Regards, Darryl

Hey Odessa!

Glad to have been of service!
All my knowledge has come from this board
in the last few months, so stick around!
You can't help but learn something...

My daughter is only just three...
You mean they get worse?

You must make sure you and your wife relax together as often as possible. If it's on the tractor, well, so be it. As for the teenage daughters. Did you think it would be any different? They are given to you to remind you of just how much trouble you were to the inlaws. Not to mention your own parents.
