3 Teen Daughters Survival

This is what I call the 3 Teen Daughters Survival journal.

The teen Girl years! I had 3 teenage Girls under one roof for 7 years.
And you ask yourself "How in the world did this Woman survive?" I often asked myself the exact same question. It is plain and simple, consistent praying and meditation.
I would lock myself in my room, light a candle, lay down, close my eyes and meditate until one of them knocked feverishly, I would then do a quick prayer to give me strength and then granted permission to enter.
Once I got through the endless, "Can I go" Can I have" Can I see" Can I invite" Can I, Can I, Can I" and had to rebut the majority of the "Can I" I was then down to two (2) Girl teens ;-) getting through the "Your the worst Mom" "You just do not like me" "You never let me do anything" "You, You, You" was another reason I needed to put my plain and simple plan into action. I continued my plain and simple plan until I was down to one (1) teen Girl !
The main goal to have these "Girl Teens" turn out to be terrific young woman is to be EXTREMELY consistent with your rebuttals, No means No and Yes means Yes no matter how many doors get slammed. Which reminds me of a time when one of my Girls just loved the idea of slamming her door when she did not get her way. Well, I solved that little problem very quickly, I just took the door off the hinges, leaned the door up against the wall for 7 days, believe me, there is NOTHING worse than taking the privacy away from a teen Girl. She quickly learned that her attitude was not getting her anywhere and her sisters learned it as well.
So there you have it, did I survive, I think so. I am proud to say, all three (3) of my Daughters are TERRIFIC and hope they utilize the same "Plain and Simple" techniques I used.
