This might be the best way of explaining how well a teenager multitasks. It seems rough, but they do it with ease.

The part about baking banana bread is the best part because they will do that.

If their friends find out they have a coat, it'll be the end of their days as they know it.

It's a cold game raising a teenager. That's something not everyone tells you about when you're a parent.

It's okay not to understand everything your teenager talks about or does. You have to try at least and listen.

Do you know why mom laughed like a villain from Batman? How many times has the teen used her mom's things without asking?

It's probably too many times to ask. The teen won't understand this until she grows up.

If the Roomba looks both ways before turning around, there's a serious issue going on for it.

They shouldn't need to look both ways before starting their job. A teenager's room is like a tornado from hell.

You thought you had enough degrees and advice from others until the kid's phone didn't charge overnight.

Now, there's moaning, screaming, and frustration while you're in their presence. You better hope they can charge it at school.

Wow, it only took three hours for this kid to have a response. That's a pretty good time if you ask me.

This mom shouldn't be too upset with that. Usually, there's no response, or it comes the next day.

Something must have given him this impression. Did you take his bowls from his room before?

A Lot Of Somethings

The stuff your teenager has going on will always matter more to them. That's just a fact of life.
