Living with Teenagers

I am spending the weekend with my eldest sister and her three teenagers - and I could produce a PhD thesis on what my ears have heard and my eyes have seen over the last couple of hours.

It's like a scene from the living with teenagers section of the saturday Guardian newspaper.

  • I can't hear what they say - they speak too fast
  • I can't understand what they say - they speak a different form of English to the one I know
  • They spend an awful lot of time on the internet
  • They spend an awful lot of time on their mobile phone
And all I want to do is hug my sister and tell her what a wonderful job she's doing. I can't help but wander what I'll be like when I am in her shoes...

I've also asked my niece and nephews when they'll be visiting me in Ghana. Can someone set up a blog on The Art of Living with Teenagers? Help.

I hear you girl :-) I see my sis & her 3 teenagers everyday and it scares the living daylights out of me as a new mum. She reminds me that its but for the grace of God. So I am learning to take a deep breath and sow seeds of prayers into my kids life (born and yet to be born :-)
