Discussion forum for parents in Australia

Join us this Friday 8th December @ 8pm (AEDST) for Ab Fab Friday's!!!
This week's topic is 'What are your favourite things about your teen/s?'
Parenting can be such a tough gig, and we often find ourselves frustrated with our teens and sometimes even feeling like we don't like them much, despite loving them. This week I'd like us to focus on the things that we do love about our teens. My caseworker used to do this with me when I was at my wits end, and I found it really beneficial as it gave me a different outlook and the energy to keep going.
How do I take part?
Simply come back to this thread at 8pm Friday night and start chatting!
@the_ant65, @lizard0812, @motherbear, @Zoesplace, @Chalke5, @Shikadesfarm, @Schooner, @Mbfwt, @musicmumma, @Jo-Anne we'd love to see you here!

Such a busy time of year - I have been feeling a little bit frazzled! Yay for a Saturday off though. Going to try and relax this weekend but my schedule is rapidly filling in there too

Yep... frazzled is a good description for my week too.

I'm so sorry I'm late @Zoesplace and @Nick-RO!!! Today's been a bit of a rollercoaster! I'm here now!

Haha, reading the messages I see that! It must be something in the air!!
What's been going on for you guys?
I wasn't sure I'd be in the mood for this topic tonight after today, but everything's settled now thank goodness.

Having had the repair after a crappy day though, does actually remind me of something I love about my daughter...her ability to say sorry and calm herself fairly quickly after an explosion.
What about you guys @Zoesplace and @Nick-RO?
It looks like you’re visiting us from a country other than Australia.
We are an Australian service and think you’d benefit more from looking up a similar service in your country.
You are welcome to look around the forums, but please don’t make an account or post, as we can’t offer you the help you may need.
Before you go ahead and post, you should know that we remove non-Australian accounts – not because we don’t want to help or connect with you, but because we may not be able to provide you with the service that you require.
