Hi! I've been "lurking" for about a month now and decided to introduce myself. I am a single mom of a 14yo DD and an 11yo DS, and I work full-time in a government job. When I found this board, I was pleasantly surprised to see that so many of you seem to be dealing with the same issues as I have. It is certainly encouraging to see that I am not alone! From DD's lackluster school performance and repeated instances of lying to my "missing her", I can relate to some of your recent discussions. Anyway, I just wanted to say hello, and I look forward to getting to know you better.

Hi and welcome to the board! I'm Jane, married to Tom, stepmom to Tommy (14) and mom to Paul (2). This board is great for offering advice and support...it's nice to know I'm not alone! Look forward to getting to know you.

Hi Pam - thanks for the kind welcome! Well, it's another day and I have about 30 minutes left before I have to take my DD to school to serve another Saturday detention . My DS is at camp this weekend, so I guess I will have most of the morning to myself, LOL!

Hi Jane! Thanks for the warm welcome! I don't think I've seen you post here within the past month; but like you, it's nice to know that I'm not alone. Right now, I can't think of anything more difficult than raising a teenager! Ugh! I am hoping that this is just a typical mother/daughter thing and that my son will be a little easier to guide through the teen years when the time comes. I'm looking forward to reaping some collective wisdom from this board - hope to "see" you around!
