Unless she's putting tits out there then she's old enough to not be computer baby monitored if her grades are holding up.

Too many of those guys already. The good news is that the family never knows they are gone....they never did shite anyway.

Reading bedtime stories is awesome.
It sure is. Right now our 18 month old goes over and picks up books and brings them to me at night. She loves to be read to before bedtime and tries out new words.
Our other two girls who are elementary school age enjoy hearing tales of three little girls who fly on unicorns to new island adventures.
There is plenty of wailing and gnashing of teeth in the evening, but that time is the best.

I live in my home with 2 teenage girls and a woman. It's not bad here at all. Probably because the woman and I aren't wild dramatic people and the teens know that and know they can't push our buttons and get a reaction.

I have two buttons, being rude is first and being unaware of how your actions affect others is the second. Other than that I don't go nuts with my daughter (when she was young, she is 22 now), or my two boys.
I still have a lot to learn.

once they get past the age of 14 you really can't teach them anything else that they will pay any attention to except respect. To earn respect is to give it. That's really all I expect from these teens. Help with chores, make good grades,talk and act with respect. That's it.

My wife picks unnecessary fights with our teenage daughter all the time, then gets mad at me that I don't intervene and take her side. Drives me insane. It'd be one thing if our daughter was a bad kid with a bad attitude, but she's one the most kind hearted kids I've ever been around.
Now, sometimes our daughter gets an attitude and talks back and deserves the admonishment, but many times she does not.

In what way??
All the while the man at home gets all kinds of hell, the more she does that puts herself first and the marriage las, the more of a bitch she becomes...provoking a fight at every single turn.
Or so I have been told.

Well our last just left this fall and things are good so far — just realllllyyy quiet.

Reading through this thread, my only takeaway is that the people who say they never fight with their teenage child are obviously either ignoring them completely or just giving them whatever they ask for.
Smooth sailing now = bumpy ride later. Seen it happen too many times for you to convince me otherwise.

That is the result of 13 years of trying to get it right.

That’s your enemy. They will get lost in the sweet poison and draw inward. Better they be reading books or playing music or drawing, something that engages them in active creativity instead of escaping into a ready made world.
I like video games as much as the next guy but having your life engrossed in them is no way to grow up

But I'm better now, so is our daughter. Daughter don't even want to see her mother anymore and I understand.
