There is nothing so self-centered as a 17 year old. Oh, yes there is. Two 17 year olds. They would be my son and his cousin. It wouldn't be fair to be specific, but suffice it to say ERGH! And ^&$*@. Oh yeah, (*&^$% too.

Oh please don't say that.
My oldest will be 17 soon.
OK. Like, in 13 years, but it's coming.

But then they hit their 20s and become lovable again. Trust me on this.

I had a thought about the self centered nature of the teens when I was coming up the stairs with the third load of family laundry that I had washed, dried, and folded and caught sight of one of my teenagers curling her hair and looking at herself in the mirror like she was having a complete vacation.....I in the mean time still hadn't even showered.

Four year olds are kinda like that, too...

lol - with my own 17-yr-old in the house I can completely feel your frustrations! I just keep reminding myself that in 5 months and 4 days, he'll be off to the dorms at college. Not that I'm counting down or anything.
