10 Sure Fire Signs Your Child is a Preteen
- He asks you to "how do I look" before he leaves for school. (Gotta impress those girls you know!)
- If you tell him he looks cute, he changes his outfit.
- He spends more time in front of the mirror then you do.
- It's no longer acceptable to give him a hug on the first day of school. (Aw......Mom!)
- You no longer have to tell him to brush his teeth.
- He is embarrassed to walk with you in the store.
- Carrying a lunch to school is 'lame'.
- The classic response to "what did you do in school today?" is "nothing"
- It's next to impossible to walk from one side of his bedroom to the other without serious injury.
- 3 main food groups - chips, pop, pizza
Today was Zach's first day of school. What a nightmare. I don't know if I'll be able to survive until adult hood!! :)

My mom bought me 10 new shirts my freshman year, and unfortunately, she went to what she thought was a "hip" store.
I wore one of them, once. It had snaps, and shiny silver armbands, etc.
My mom never bought me shirts again.
Good luck to him, and you!
Because I still remember how horrible it is being a kid, I always have him pick out his school clothes. Lucky kid! I didn't have that when I was growing up.
I'll trade you two teenagers. I'm not kidding. :-)
Hmmm...... I get 2, you get 1. I just don't see that as being fair. I could, however, throw my husband in there. He's just as bad as a teenager, if not worse. LOL
Poor guy! I remember those days...moms are just so uncool. My mother still has horrible taste in clothes and jewelry. I've forbidden her to buy me anything...I remind her, gift certificates please.
