You know, SS, I'd always heard about the teenager thing. But my wife and I really got to see the proof firsthand when we joined the youthgroup as sponsors in our church. We loved the kids, even through the trying times. It was the first time I had experienced the generation gap too. We were around 47 or 48 when we joined. And without children of our own, it was quite an experience. My wife and I really believe that my immaturity as an older adult helped smooth out the transition. 
Paraphrasing here, but I believe it was either Samuel Clemens or Will Rogers that said something like, " Keep your children in a barrel with an air hole until they become teenagers and then plug the hole." Not advocating child abuse here, but teens can be oh so trying.

more than mom and dad until they have children of their own.....even my youngest daughter Tami, told me she was sorry, for she knew how I felt when her oldest, teenage son was doing the same thing to her! Live and learn as we grow older and gain wisdom and hopefully godly wisdom!

Well, I am far from having a teenager and can honestly say, we never really know what out parents went through until we become parents ourselves. All the sleepless nights, worry, sickness, etc. Shew. We got some pretty good firsthand experience when our niece came to live with us at the age of 18-20. We had some very different ideals and standards than she had ever known and was quite an adjustment for us all.
