Yes. Believe it or not, there are several advantages to parenting teens. Let's see if I can pull my brain together enough to get a few down here.
1. Teens are addicted to computers. If you own several computers the teens will leave you alone. That means they forget about food and phone calls and television. You can watch what you like, eat whatever you want and even talk on the phone without being bothered.
2. Teens sleep in, every day. This means you can sleep in as well, assuming you don't have a job to go to or a class... The house is very quiet when the teens are sleeping, nice and silent.
3. Teens will always eat pizza. If you forget to make dinner, pizza is only a phone call away.
4. Teens leave their dirty clothes on the floor. If you have a dirty carpet~NO ONE will ever know. They cannot see the carpet through the clothes.
5. Teens like to stay up late. You will never feel lonely again at 2am. Your teen will be awake with you.
6. Teens love to eat late at night. Here's your excuse for a midnight snack. "Oh hi honey, I was just making the kids some food." (He/she'll never know you planned on eating as well.)
7. Teens are messy everywhere~this means you can blame them even if you made the mess. This is very handy.
8. Teens NEVER fill the petrol tank. Something else you can blame on them. "Sweetie, I just filled it. Abhi must have used the car and all the fuel I put in it."
9. Teens forget to turn off lights. You'll never come home to a dark house while you have teens.
10. Teens eat lots. When they are old enough to drive, they are old enough to do the grocery shopping for you. This is very advantageous for those of us who detest grocery shopping.
For all of you who have younger children or no children, let's talk about teens. Don't be scared...well, really smart parents are scared. Teenagers are frickin' scary!
