It is a whole new adventure being a parent to an older teenager. Ours is generally a good kid. Doesn't smoke, or do drugs and hasn't come home reeking of alcohol. So generally he has been pretty good. Yet, he has friends that are a little older, and work in various radio, and news venues. He tends to like to hang with them at their stations and usually until after midnight. Which means that I can't go to bed until he is in the house. Some evenings that is impossible, and I fall asleep with one eye open on the den sofa. I know that I am not the first parent to go through this but it is difficult. As I sit here it is 12:30 am and I am exhausted, so I find myself reading through other blogs and posting on my own. I know that next year at this time, I may be up half the night with a screaming baby, waiting for the teenager to come home.
