I feel like throwing him through a window or off the roof. (Emphasis on the "feel". ;) ) I'm not going to go through what he did. I just feel pulling his hair out- I don't have enough left of mine to pull out. lol Why do teenagers push us to the brink? Why do they feel compelled to test us until the breaking point? Can I put him into hibernation until his brain returns? Ok, rant over. Thank you for listening. |

Thanks! My 9 y.o. does too. He's going to give us a run for the money when he hits puberty. |

Sent all the teens to camp for 8 weeks. Expensive, but keeps the peace... |

Someone told me a cute quote that he feels is true - when your kids are toddlers, you would love to eat them up and when they are teenagers, you wonder why you didn't ;) |

I really, really want to press "pause" right now, because my kids are honestly at the perfect age: everyone is toilet trained, no one needs a stroller, they are still really sweet and love their mommy, and they haven't hit puberty. They are 4, almost 6 and almost 9, and I know this won't last forever.... |

Yes, but with teens you can leave the house without them! I actually miss the freedom since I have an 8 yo at home with me and I have to think about him before I can go anywhere. |

Or fast forward until they become adults. I totally agree. I think I'm going to look into cryogenics as an option for the next few years. :blink: :D |

Most teens don't until they have one of their own. Remember that killing them is assur till we are fully out of the 9 days. I have 2 on the waiting list right now and one has only been home since Thursday. I imagine after what my older one just told me the 3rd will also earn a place on the list. I was just told that Eicha, maariv and kinot were not so urgent but in throwing bungeklach they became spitz chassidim. :burn |

So, after Monday it's ok to kill them? And if I throw them out of the window but make sure they're alive, then that's permissible? :huh: |

SM, I think its ok if don't hit them with a strap. Mine were punished by refusal to let them them join their yeshiva friends in Y-m. The evening behavior called into serious question how much time they would actually spend at an overcrowded kotel. CM, bungelach grow on trees and I have no idea what they are called in English or Hebrew. My neighbor happens to have a tree full of them right now.
Throwing bungelach is sort of an informal minhag that kids can over do. (Was that said delicately?) |
