Life with cranky teenagers

Sometimes I find myself just shy of calling on Supernanny myself.  Living in a house of four teenagers now has it’s rewards, certainly, but there are those enormous challenges that we face almost daily.

Parents - Do you know where your children are?

Are you one of those parents who observes ill behaved children who run pure evil out of sight from their parents and does nothing?
As much as I’ve tried to be one of those parents, I just can’t.

Tweens adore them and teens envy them

“Are we raising a generation of ‘prosti-tots?”
I know parents have worried about the influence celebrities have on their children for generations.  Newsweek is featuring a story on this very influence this week.
