Puberty Sucks

TheOtherMom's picture

SS11 woke up in a FOUL mood this morning and has been whinging and crying over silly little things all day.

SS9 was the same about a week ago.

I took Intro to Child Development a few semesters ago and I think I read that puberty starts as early as 8 years. I found it hard to believe but after experiencing these emotional roller coasters for the past few weeks, I am starting to believe it.

Ugh. Can I slow puberty down or something???

A trick my mom pulled with me when I was very little that translates to all, and PLEASE tell me if it works so I can put it in action in about two years. . . IN her situation she would wrap tiny cheap crap presents for me to root for or have handed to and open and play with for long car rides, kept me busy and less motion-sick. Maybe you can strategicially place individually wrapped chocolates around the house and bust one out when the pheremones start to flow a little thick. Start tossing the mini-hershey special darks like ninja stars, and see what happens. It might work, and the foil wrappers under the furniture would be well worth the peace. Or get them on the pill. slightly more scientific way around the chemical roller coaster.

Or get the pill and hide it inside hershey's special darks? Hmmm. . .
