HOW TO LIVE WITH PARENTS One of the most trying phases in a young gir1's life is when she is a teenager. At this age parents get on certain kicks of what you should or shouldn't do. Although this stage of parenthood is not unique to parents with teenage daughters they usually end up having to cope with the problem and be understanding at the worst stages. Usual Mother kicks are concerning such things as lack of sleep, clothes, homework and weight. How many girls have heard No wonder you're so tired all the time, you don't go to bed until eight-thirty or You're wearing that! Well, if you think so, dear or When I was in high school I did two hours homework every night . These are typical situations in which sacrifices must be made for parents. But sometimes mother's have a terrible time deciding what standpoint they are going to take, and change their minds from day to day. Such as: You really should watch what you eat, dear, you're developing fat girl habits . A day or two later your mother walks into the kitchen where you are noisily munching your celery stick. Oh, Barb, you look so pale and thin, here eat some cookies and milk. All you can do is nod graciously and accept some cookies bracing yourself for the next day's fat girl routine. Fathers have their own special brand of kicks . These fall into two main categories: protectiveness and Why don't you act your age . The usual protectiveness routine starts with How old are you now? Twe1ve? No, I'm nearly sixteen . Oh, that would make you in grade eight then. No, I'm in grade ten. Really! Next thing you know you'll be going to University! What do you want to do? l don't know yet . ' Well you'd better start thinking about it. Here you are going on, uh, getting older and you must begin to make decisions for yourself. If you expect to drive my car then you'd better begin to act your age, sweetheart . Yes, daddy. Alas, what can you do with parents at this age except be patient, loving and understanding.
