I recently asked my mom if she had any hilarious quotes about parenting teens to share and she laughed 30 seconds longer than I felt comfortable with. That all but signaled that raising children who become hormonal teens is an extreme sport. I'm not there yet, but I feel like the toddler stage is a small glimpse at what to expect. Think mini tantrums about being told it's not a good idea to eat chicken nuggets and popsicles for breakfast.
