    Hi Lucky,
    I don't often post but do catch up with you when I can. Am always amazed how well you cope with everything. :T
    empathise totally with teen attitude - drives me :mad: and I don't even think I have it particularly bad with my DS - just occasionally.

    Sorry you are going through it too NOA. I had a coffee and a catch up with a friend this afternoon (:j) and her daughter is the same age as my DS1. She's exactly the same and we had a good old moan. Nice to know we are not alone!

    We have been bowling tonight! For the foreseeable future we will be having Family Fun Wednesday instead of FF Friday, and today was DS2's choice. I was thrilled to discover that bowling is only £1.50 per person after school on Wednesdays, so we could all bowl for £6 :j. One more reason that Wednesday is better than Friday! The real reason for the change is so I can go to Clubbercise on a Friday :o. Feel guilty putting my needs first, but it's only because I can't do other days because of being Mum's Taxi.
    (Still feel guilty!).

    You are right to prioritise your Friday Clubercise, as it is benefiting your health and wellbeing, which in turn helps you cope with big and little mangries (angry males).
    What would you get if all you got was what you were thankful for?

    Don't you dare feel guilty about doing something for you. Your boys are still getting their family fun day and you get your fun Friday - result :)
