Puberty and Teething!!

[vikki a]

Think i'm going nuts!!!......
My DD 12, is going through puberty:eek: I think she will get her period soon, all the signs are there, little boobs, pubic hair and the moods!!!! One day (or should i say mintue) she nice as pie, and the next she's a grummpy thing!! Then at the other end there is........ my DD5mths, whos teething!!:eek: Yep all the signs are there, drooling, mouthing things, and her moods!!!!! I'm thinkind of putting them both in a room toghter and see who wins!!:rolleyes:
Anyway is anyone going throuhg this tooooo? Not so much the teething thing been there done that..... The puberty thing, how did you cope?? Some days i just want to strangle her!! Or maybe its me!! Between the two of them i'm going insane!!!!!!!:eek:

I have a ds that is 15 and then a dd that is 9 1/2 mths.

Yes teething and puperty are fun rolled all in together.
Moody teenagers who think they know everything and mum is soooo not right. And grumpy drippling babies. What a combination. :eek:

My son is a lot better now than when he was 13. I think the hormones are sorting themselves out a bit.

Just remember its not forever (luckily) and they'll be moving out before we know it.

Take care,
Michelle :)

Yah, i'm not the only nutter who has a baby and one going through puberty!! LOL. And there is light at the end of the tunnel!! I also can relate to the mum knows nothing and your so old, "what do you know?" thing.... Do you think its easier to cope with a girl or boy? Three boys to go after her, then my last DD!! I don't know if i want to think about her leaving home just yet.......But then on the other hand........

I'm not sure if boys are easier than girls at that age. I think it depends on the child.
My son is pretty easy going and doesn't go against me much.

I have a 7 yr old ds too who I think might be a little bit harder once he reaches that age. He is alot more determined and likes to do things his way even now.:eek:

Hopefully by the time my dd is that age I might have some idea on what to do.;)

I have a DSD who is thirteen in March - got her period last year and is definitely going through puberty. Then there's my DSS who is 11 in May (on the verge), while I'm contending with my DS (21months) and being pregnant myself. Last year I had to talk to my DSD about pregnancy and why 12 year olds shouldn't be having babies (a girl at her school was pg), while knowing I was TTC. Yeah, I know they don't live with us all the time, but I can definitely know relate to what you're going through....

OMGOSH!! I just realized i spelt puberty wrong!! I can spell NOT!!
Anyway thanks for making me feel "normal" what ever this......:)

It's okay - at least we all know what you were meaning.:)

I had got on here feeling like a vent after getting off the phone from my stepkid's biomum, who never ceases to amaze me as to how self-centred she can be. We go through a lot trying to ease the kids through some difficult times, then she does something silly, like (this example) uproot them, move house and about 150km away from all their mates in the middle of school term. DSD was telling us how fantastic high school is after being really worried about starting it this year, and DSS was just starting to get back into it after some 'teething' probs last year (they were only just new to the school they were at). Then their mother rings up just as DS is screaming as he'd fallen off a ride on toy and was ready for his nap. At least with DS I can cuddle him and say it'll be alright, knowing things pass for him, when DSD tells me how tricky things are with her newest boyfriend:eek: she's at the age now, where saying it'll be alright isn't convincing enough.

My DS at 5 months old and teething is certainly more well behaved than my 14 years old 'hormonal hell' DD. What a moody thing she's turned in to. Now I know what my mother had to put up with with me! Gem is so selfish......... it really irritates me.

Wait till she turns 16 OH MY GOD !!! what a nightmare that is . It didn't get any better as hse got older it got worse. Hubby & I thought she would grow out of the moods but it got WORSE:eek: .On the other hand Wev'e got a 15 year old son who's 100% better very considerate specially now (baby no 6 due in 8 weeks)he won't even let me lift anything Good Luck, you are not alone:D

Hello ladies! I can totally relate to u but from the other end of the scale. Im 19 now so 2 or so years ago I was that "Hormonal hell" and I now understand how horrible and moody I always was. My parents were never right (Although they seem to be full of wisdom now)!
I now have a teething baby and i know i couldn't handle having a teether and a moody teenager (Although wen my 13year old sister comes to stay it seems abit like that) so I take my hat off to those who do.

[StormAngel]

me too, me too! LOL!

I have an 18mth old who seems to be getting a whole heap of teeth at once & a nearly 13 year old son, who i am ready to lock in his room for the rest of puberty!

In between these two, i have & 7yr old DD & a moody 10yr old DD!

I have an almost 13yo DS who is going through Puberty, and a 10yo DD who is on the verge. It is like a living hell. They are constantly fighting with each other over total crap. They can't even look at each other without starting. Most of the time all I want to do is pull my hair out. It also doesn't help when my DS suffers from ADD and ODD.

In the meantime I also have to care for an almost 3yo DS and my DH. I relish school time, because it is the only time of the day I get peace and quiet. 3yo DS and I spend lots of quality time together then because he pretty much gets left to himself when the other pair are home because I'm am too busy refereeing their fights.

At times I feel like locking them into a room together and seeing who wins, except I don't fancy the trip to the hospital at the end of it!

I wish they had a fast foward button.:banghead:

Hi all,
Its good to know that im not alone here. Jades is still trying to get her teeth and becca is well.............. a #itch!! Nobody can do any thing right in her eyes. Shes allways giving her 9yr brother a hard time, and he doesnt understand why. He has AS which means he can take things to heart and very literally. So he can get very upset so then i have to try and tell him that she didnt really mean it.. So its fun at my house!! :rolleyes: I was hoping she would get better as she got older but by the sounds of it, i might have to wait to she leaves home..............

Hi mums,

I found 14 was a shocking time in our house, thank god that is over:thumbsup: but now she is great i mean when its that time of the month she can be hell on legs but hey so am i:devil6: i am finding my son 11 is a shocker i mean his a big boy and looks older so ive been thinking he must be hormonely changing by the attitude he has had and the mood swings, he has been the nightmare of late:banghead: Larissa is great now that she has a partime job saving her own money and has a bit more indipendence at 15. Ethan my 10 month old has 6 teeth and has been giving me hellish nights so between the two boys, its been a treat....not!

cheers.
