Comments on: Parenting a Teen: LE Grows Up…But Into What? http://solo-dad.com/parenting-a-teen-le-grows-up-but-into-what Fri, 03 Sep 2010 05:33:11 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: notasoccermom http://solo-dad.com/parenting-a-teen-le-grows-up-but-into-what#comment-128 notasoccermom Tue, 12 Jan 2010 03:51:26 +0000 http://solo-dad.com/?p=1308#comment-128 I know all too well how easy it can be to blame ourselves when our kids act out. The teenage years are tough, worried about grades, girls, self-esteem, family life, and 'what are you going to be when you grow up' can make a teen lash out at those who are attempting to help with all that.

And like LL said above, things have a way of working out. I know all too well how easy it can be to blame ourselves when our kids act out.
